As far as I can tell from my discussions with the Simons (Simon Peyton-Jones and Simon Marlow), the GHC mailing list, and the wiki pages: C-- for the Native Code Generator (NCG) backend is the plan. The LLVM backend is new and interesting work, but I don't think there has been any movement / discussions to rely strictly on LLVM and stop supporting NCG backend. Thanks. -- Donnie _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
