Hi, I'm slowly getting to grips with what makes up LLVM. I intend to use it in a machine simulator, e.g. processor, clock, RAM, UART, and other devices, where the processor will be one of several. It would take a block of target instructions, e.g. ARM, and produce LLVM to simulate those on the target machine state, and then JIT them to host instructions and then execute. The peripheral

Thank you very much for the feedback, I tried to address the brought up issues in this updated proposal. In case you have any suggestions or comments feel free to tell me.
