OK, then you could say that the *real* advantage of the malloc/alloca instructions is

[LLVMdev] RFC: Plugable intrinsics
I can think of many people that use LLVM and maintain out of tree extentions that will likely never be incorporated into mainline. Maintaining out of tree intrnisics takes a fair amount of work and leads to the choice of using a single version of LLVM for a project (and thus have to manually incorporate bug fixes) or risk untimely breakage. I propose that the plugin be extended to allow plugable intrinsics. To be sucessful, such a plugin will have to provide...

[LLVMdev] Some question on LLVM design
Hi everybody, I'm currently looking at LLVM as a possible back-end to a dynamic programming system (in the tradition of Smalltalk) we are developing. I have read most of the llvmdev archives, and I'm aware that some things are 'planned' but not implemented yet. We are willing to contribute the code we'll need for our project, but before I can start coding I'll have to
