[llvm-dev] LLVM z80 backend and llvm-dis missing?

If I understand correctly, this LLVM backend outputs C ?
So for me purpose the process would work like :

C++ -> clang -> LLVM-C-backend -> C -> SDCC -> z80 assembly?

and I read that a current problem is that the 'volatile' keyword gets
dropped, that last bit sound like it would actually defeat the whole
purpose of the exercise ?
volatile is kindof essential to working with the z80' memory-mapped-IOs?

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I will definitely check it out!


Greetings,

Jan
