[LLVMdev] Convert C++ to C. What is 0x0p+0 ?

[Reid Spencer]

BTW,

Emil Mikulic suggested that this be implemented with a command line
switch so that whenever the CBE is invoked you can tell it to avoid
printf-a. That's a pretty good idea and I'll probably flip the
implementation of this to use a command line switch, but I'm not sure
when I'll get to that.  Patches welcome.

Reid.
