...for : interfacing with C. The most common hurdle with calling C from managed : code is interfacing with the garbage collector. The C interface was : designed to require very little memory management, and so is : straightforward in this regard. Evidently I have to go look in include/llvm-c, since I stronlgly suspect you didn't go to the trouble of writng a C wrapper for anything that wasn't needed by an LLVM user. Anything internal you'd have left in C++. So the API for a C++ *user* could be described as "those parts of the internals API that happen to be used in implementing ll...
