...VM IR by lowering complex features to simpler features. We'd like to upstream some of these IR passes to LLVM. We'd like to explore if this acceptable, and if so, how we should go about doing this. The immediate reason is that Emscripten is reusing PNaCl's IR passes for its new "fastcomp" backend [1]. It would be really useful if PNaCl and Emscripten could collaborate via upstream LLVM rather than a branch. Some background: There are two related use cases for these IR simplification passes: 1) Simplifying the task of writing a new LLVM backend. This is Emscripten's u...
