Sorry for the late response :) I already know the LLVM project and looks pretty interesting for boomerang. But looks like boomerang will enter into a highly unstable development stage :/ I would rather prefer to have the segfaults and library path issues fixed together with a release before doing the LLVM integration which is pretty interesting but imho requires too much work, and the project needs at least one stable release before this big step :) > But it would take a while to get some working code, so it's better to > fix the bugs in the current implementation.

Yes, I don't like C++ and the patches I provided where merely fixed the problems I had while trying to use it and not receive segfaults. Finding segfaults in C++ is somewhat crazy and insane. I hope you can sleep well after this work :) Another problem that avoids the use of boomerang in a normal system is the impossiblity to have it installed because it's always looking for the libraries in ./lib/. Will be this fixed in cvs too? is there a hidden SVN repository or it is just a legend? :) > Good job on the new release!
