Hi all, I just wanted to know if anyone's looked into using the free version of Microsoft's Visual C++ toolkit for LLVM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ -bw -- || "If wishes and buts were clusters of nuts, we'd all have a bowl of || granola!" - Mr. Jellineck

I was thinking of something simple like this: [.c] compile = cc1 %in -o %out optimize = gccas %in -o %out.bc link

Perhaps cause Misha liked it. But, you do have a point there. LLVMCC = LLVM Compiler Collection, a la GCC After all, it's going to be the

Hi all, Quick question: What is the best way to have multiple return values from a function? Would that be placing these into a structure and returning that to the caller? Thanks. -bw -- || "If wishes and buts were clusters of nuts, we'd all have a bowl of || granola!" - Mr. Jellineck

I have a very simple XML document type that I use for configuring XPS systems. There's only four elements and it follows much the same kind of grouped name/value pairs that Chris is suggesting. Chris' example would be like: <configuration name="llvm"> <group name=".c"> <item name="compile">cc1 %in -o %out</item> <item

Hi all, I had a quick question. I think it's possible to do this, but just wanted to make sure. It is possible to extend LLVM to add, say, matrix operations at a higher level and then "lower" them into some version of LLVM "proper" after performing any transformations on them, right? Also, it's possible to have any custom-made types (like "matrix") as well?

LLVMers, Since there's been little feedback on the design document I sent out, some decisions are being made in order to progress the work. If you have strong feelings about any of these, voice them now! 1. Name = llvmcc 2. The config file format will resemble Microsoft .ini files (name=value in sections) 3. -O set of options will control what gets done and what kind of output is
