similar to: [LLVMdev] TableML status

Hi, I've been working on a proof of concept for a new configuration language for LLVM: specifically for my needs in llvmc2, but I have tried to make it as generic as possible for use throughout LLVM if other projects would like to make use of it. It's a compiler that compiles a near-subset of Standard ML to C++, with an architecture deliberately very similar to TableGen. The code is

Your proposal seems interesting - I especially like that you are using a functional language. When your compiler

Being fully aware that llvmc2 is work-in-progress, here are some notes nethertheless: I already compiled llvm, but llvm-gcc was still compiling. Now I tried the new llvmc2: $ llvmc2 -opt -v main.c llvm-g++ -c -x c main.c -o /tmp/llvm_KeApik/main.bc -emit-llvm llvmc2: Can't find program 'llvm-g++' * after this, the directory /tmp/llvm_KeApik was not removed * why using /tmp at all?

I've been working on some minor enhancements for llvmc2, but before I submit them, I'd like to know more about where the driver is going. Right now, llvmc2 uses TableGen at build time to statically create C++ files with hardcoded paths and command lines. The llvmc2 documentation seems to imply that the static TableGen-based configuration will eventually be replaced by some kind of

Hi, Patrick First of all, thanks for your interest in llvmc2!

That sounds like a good idea. Part of the reason I suggested making the system less dependent on TableGen is that in the process of developing a

This implements -dry-run for llvmc2: $ llvmc2 -dry-run main.c llvm-g++ -c -x c main.c -o /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.bc -emit-llvm llc -f /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.bc -o /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.s llvm-gcc -c -x assembler /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.s -o /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.o llvm-gcc /tmp/llvm_bGw2gN/main.o -o a.out $ llvmc2 -dry-run -opt main.c llvm-g++ -c -x c main.c -o /tmp/llvm_UGZtwL/main.bc -emit-llvm opt

One of the main design concerns is that llvmc2 should be completely

Hello, Since the old llvmc was removed, is it now OK to rename llvmc2 to llvmc? I'll update man pages accordingly.

It seems that bugpoint (and llvmc2, etc.) is hard-wired to use gcc to do assembling and linking. I want to bugpoint-reduce a testcase that came from Fortran and so I need to invoke our compiler to do at least the linking step to get our Fortran libraries. Is there a way to do this via bugpoint's command-line interface or do I have to hack bugpoint's source? I can see how I might make
