Howdy: I'm a newbie of LLVM. I want to make sure that my way is correct. Plz tell me... we design a new processor with a new arch. we wanna get a compiler as fast as possible. The target code of the new compiler is machine code. So, is it I just to create a whole new backend for our new processor, right? And then???? Thx.
