Thank you everyone for the feedback! I’ve updated the document based on the feedback.
In addition to this document I’m also working on putting together a set of coding standards/guidelines/tips that are more LLVM-specific. When I get that together I’ll also send it over here for feedback. The only comment I think I didn’t directly update the document for was Dan’s comment about GLOBAL properties. I kinda have mixed feelings about GLOBAL properties. I know why we use them, but I’m not sure I want to encourage people to use them. I think some of the places we use them is just wrong. Many thanks! -Chris
