Hi, I'm new in LLVM project , I have to write a compiler frond-end (based on LLVM) in C++ to support my programming language .Am I have to implement support for each architecture or LLVM has libraries that can do this for me ? (btw I don't want to support architecture that LLVM don't) . does LLVM has helper functions to create objects in heap ? if not is it good idea to use C++11

...d incremental garbage collection often requires that each pointer dereference first checks if the pointee needs to be scanned. The functionality of the "LLVM GC" support allows this to happen. However, you must still provide your own collector.

...of free libraries to integrate into your language, etc. Also the C ABI change on platforms? I thought C Calling convention was the same on all platforms.

Thanks, Reid. When you say the frontend needs to know about how LLVM implements it, do you mean, the Function* type in LLVM, and in which order you add to the arguments array when building this type? Thank you for the video link, just reading the abstract I see this is the way to go. However, as I finished typing the sentence, I wonder if this means clang and/or llvm may be a runtime dependency.

1 hour ago I downloaded llvm-3.6.0-rc4-win32.exe from http://llvm.org/pre-releases/3.6.0/ . I tried to compile simple C code that just print "hello" , but it didn't compile , because clang.exe can't find . when I use clang-cl.exe with the same code , it worked . I also have the same problem with clang++ even with , I add -I flag to GCC (4.9.1) C++ headers , the result:
