By the way, does anyone know of a project which *does* call into Clang's mangling framework from outside? I'd be interested to know purely out of curiosity. Cheers. Tim.

First of all, thanks for looking into this! As you've no doubt discovered, I'm one of the people who has talked a lot about this issue in the past, and have been frustrated with the lack of progress in this area. I completely agree with your point about wanting to be able to attach GC metadata to a type (rather than attaching it to a value, as is done now). In the past, there have been

I'm working on an LLVM backend for Idris, a garbage-collected pure functional programming language, and have experienced some frustration that LLVM's GC support, specifically with regard to mapping roots, operates only on allocas. This entails a lot of otherwise unnecessary stack allocation (especially in a pure language, where in-place mutation is rare) and imposes limitations on what
