Just a quick warning about LLVM's C backend. From an email thread back in November 2010, Chris Lattner said that he's unaware of anyone working on it, so it's fairly out of sync with the rest of LLVM. It probably will need a full rewrite in order to bring it up to production quality. http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2010-November/036029.html _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
