Hi,
does someone have an experiences with this new compiler? It's new thing for me. I just tried to play with it for a short time under Windows/MinGW32. But it's portable and support various targets. LLVM provides a virtaul machine that run specific bitcode that can be compiled from C source files. this bitcode can be then further optimized and compiled to native assembler for specific targets. Resulting code should be up to ~30% more effective than gcc produce. There are llvm-gcc and clang frontends that compile C->LLVM bitcode->x86-ASM->binary. I wonder if there will be possibility to utilize it also under DOS/DJGPP. Maybe partially with HXDOS support to execute LLVM win32 binaries. Or recompile it. I don't know if some specific stub would be needed or I could use just DJGPP to sompile ASM .s file to DOS EXE, I'll try it for fun...
