I have looked at the MinGW binaries package (llvm-2.5-x86-mingw32.tar.bz2) and this doesn't seem to be what I need. ================================================================================== >From LLVM FAQs : http://llvm.org/docs/FAQ.html#langirgen I'd like to write a self-hosting LLVM compiler. How should I interface with the LLVM middle-end optimizers and back-end code generators? Your compiler front-end will communicate with LLVM by creating a module in the LLVM intermediate representation (IR) format. Assuming you want to write yo...

This was convenient to get started with, but they're getting to a "huge and unwieldy" stage now. I was wondering if anyone's attempted writing proxy/wrapper C++/CLI classes so that the IR API can be used directly from managed languages. Any
