I like the idea of a generic MachineCodeWriter, although I prefer the name 'ObjectFileWriter'... I think we need to take a hard look at which bits of the Writer/Emitter infrastructure are needed for what tasks (Object File Emittion, JIT, etc.) and make sure that our abstractions are flexible enough... As it stands at the moment, the Writer and Emitter classes could definately be mer...

...wants. 2. Extension of the object file generation capabilities to include new object file formats is difficult, and requires modifications to LLVM code (not just a plugin). I suggest transforming the {getMachOWriterInfo, getELFWriterInfo} functions (on TargetMachine) into a single (templated?) getObjectFileWriterInfo function. Additionally a addObjectFileWriter member should be added to TargetMachine, taking the place of the static {AddMachOWriter, AddELFWriter} functions. As I need this functionality (custom object file generation) for my current target, I'd be happy to make the modifications to th...
