Been tinkering with LLVM about 2 weeks now. I've been using the Stacker Compiler as an example so far for my own little project. Is this tool you mentioned coming "Real Soon Now(tm)", or is it months away? If its coming soon, should I avoid using the Stacker exampl...

Yes, that's right! In fact, shortly the process of doing that will get easier with the llvmc (compiler driver) tool that I'm working on. You write your compiler to generate either bytecode or LLVM assembly and a configuration file. The rest of it (optimization, linking, codegen) can be done with existing LLVM tools. If you later want to include those features in your compiler, you can

Hi There, I've just started reading about LLVM and I just wanted to make sure that it can do what I was hoping it could do. Am I correct in assuming that I could use LLVM as a backend for a compiler, emiting LLVM byte codes which could either be natively compiled (Sparc and x86) or byte code interpretted / JITed??
