[LLVMdev] LLVM targeting HLLs
...whether this rewrite is happening?
The other thing I could do is to use the LLVMTargetMachine and treat my
HLL as a low-level machine; this gets me a certain amount of good stuff
like register allocation and more optimisations, but the documentation
is still pretty basic (e.g.
http://wiki.llvm.org/Absolute_Minimum_Backend is three short paragraphs)
and I'm not certain as to whether LLVMTargetMachine is suitable. For
example: my HLL can largely be treated as a register machine with an
arbitrary number of registers. Can LLVMTargetMachine handle this?
