[LLVMdev] trig language-like code generator generator

[Tzu-Chien Chiu]

yes, i did read those document. but i don't target any existing
hardware. i need a compiler during the hareware design phase (i work
for an ihv). preferrable a bnf syntax/rule/cost-driven and code
generator generator. dynamic programming ones like twig, burg, beg,
etc.
