similar to: [LLVMdev] Several questions about LLVM

Hello, Eduardo I think these questions were answered yesterday, but: > 1) I know there is a MSIL backend which is still at an experimental > phase. When will it be ready? When there will be someone, which will finish it. Without such brave soul I'd say "never". Currently it's definitely bitrotten and I personally don't see the future for it expect

Hi, The code that I was using was this: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=nbody&lang=gcc&id=1 I followed the footsteps for compiling it to BC than I took the BC code and compiled it with ilasm2 (Mono). After that I tried to run the .exe with mono and it gave me a invalid opcode. I wish I could give more information about the bug but my ext3fs partition crashed

Hello everyone, I'm a little new to LLVM. I know that the backends are still in experimental stage. MSIL and MIPS would be very useful for a project that I'm working on. Do you have any plans to have it completed in the next few months? I could generate the MSIL assembly but when compiled it, which compiles sucessfully, it generates invalid opcode errors.

Both backends are important but I find it more important the MSIL backend, for now. It's a shame that nobody is picking up the MSIL backend; it would be useful another backend that is machine-independent and that has support for several tools. -----Mensagem original----- De: llvmdev-bounces at cs.uiuc.edu em nome de Bruno Cardoso Lopes Enviada: qua 05-11-2008 19:47 Para: LLVM Developers

Yes, I want to run it in x86/linux. Where do I find information on how to compile it to support Fortran?

Hello, I work in Kalray (Montbonnot, France) and I'm PhD student at Universite Joseph Fourier in Grenoble. We want to use LLVM framework for MSIL code generation, which is part of my thesis. Currently I'm still reading LLVM's documentation and I've started completing the MSIL backend for running on Mono. Things that need to be fixed include pointers initialization, call to

Hello all. is it possible to use LLVM to optimize existing .NET assemblies? Basically doing the following: - read in MSIL and convert into LLVM internal representation - perform global optimizations on LLVM internal representation - write out optimized MSIL using the existing LLVM backend I presume that the capability to convert MSIL into LLVM internal representation exists somewhere in VMKit.

Hey there, Searching via the web is not producing answers.... So I thought I would ask the gods of llvm. :-) I'd like to experiment with the llc in conjunction with msil. but I am running into this error: llc-mp-2.9 test.ll -march=msil /opt/local/libexec/llvm-2.9/bin/llc: error: invalid target 'msil'. the version string is: llc-mp-2.9 --version Low Level Virtual Machine

Hello, Everyone. We've just commited new backend for LLVM: MSIL. The author of backend is Roman Samoilov from Codedgers Inc. (roman at codedgers.com). Backend itself is very similar to C backend (and actually was based on it). Note, it's pure LLVM-to-MSIL translator, so no additional checks etc. are performed. Backend is usable in general, but still lacks some important features: 1.

MSIL is definitely much more high level than LLVM, that's why significant portion of information will

It's LLVM-to-MSIL translator. So, if the source use some unsupported code... The same situation

I don't think anyone will be interested in fixing problems of this backend -- With best regards, Anton Korobeynikov Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics, Saint Petersburg State University

Hi, I have installed llvm and llvm-gfortran on Pentium4 machine using 32-bit Ubuntu, it works fine. I recently installed them on AMD64-Ubuntu 8.04, llvm-gfortran gave me following errors $ llvm-gfortran -Wall hello.f95 -o hellof /home/jli127/LLVM/llvm-gcc/install/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.1/../../../../lib64/libgfortran.a(error.o): In function `_gfortrani_gfc_itoa':
