Hi All, 2 of my summer interns (Aimee Dipietro and Greg Simpson) used their time over the summer to resurrect the LLVM C Backend: https://github.com/draperlaboratory/llvm-cbe Improvements include recovery of simple for/while loops (instead of goto), better variable naming, inline asm support, and making it work on a more recent version of llvm. I believe they used the repository here as a

...utions which the interested reader should certainly take a look at. * Dan Gohman answers a question about LLVM IR access to struct fields with a [concise summary of how alias analysis information is currently used in LLVM](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/72331). * Richard Carback is [seeking feedback on his TableGen DAGISel documentation](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/72201). His [notes](https://github.com/draperlaboratory/fracture/wiki/How-TableGen%27s-DAGISel-Backend-Works) seem like a great start at documenting what has been up till now one of...
