The goal of <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> is to make
|
||||
gcc-4.5 act like llvm-gcc without requiring any gcc modifications whatsoever.
|
||||
DragonEgg is a shared library (llvm.so) that is loaded by gcc at runtime. It
|
||||
uses the new gcc plugin architecture to disable the GCC optimizers and code
|
||||
generators, and schedule the LLVM optimizers and code generators (or direct
|
||||
output of LLVM IR) instead. Currently only Linux and Darwin are supported,
|
||||
and only on x86-32 and x86-64. It should be easy to add additional unix-like
|
||||
architectures and other processor families. Since gcc-4.5 has not yet been
|
||||
released, neither has <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a>.
|
||||
To build <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> you will need to
|
||||
check out the development versions of <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html/">
|
||||
gcc</a>, <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout">llvm</a>
|
||||
and <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> from their respective
|
||||
subversion repositories.

it should be possible to use <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a>
|

with any language supported by gcc, however only C and Fortran work well for the
|
||||
moment. Ada and C++ work to some extent, while Java, Obj-C and Obj-C++ are so
|
||||
far entirely untested. Since gcc-4.5 has not yet been released, neither has
