The IR changes syntax often, so using that will most likely cause version problems. The other option is to use C++ classes directly which apparently is more stable.
I know i386, x86_64 and ARM works pretty good. I don't know about the few others. Compiling speed is very, very slow :) (when using ir input at least) Having worked a bit with llvm I don't like the IDE of completely changing the backend of fpc. Mostly because we are then relying on a bunch of C++ programmers to fix bugs and extend the backend in the future.

Has anybody experience with LLVM? Are there licensing issues? What about the quality of the produced code? What about compiling speed? Thoughts? Thanks, Martin _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
