[LLVMdev] Question about SPARC target status

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hi,

No, it is not. C language is highly target-specific, thus LLVM IR
obtained from such sources also has the same nice 'property'

> Speaking of SPARC ABI can I still call non-FP external (i.e. compiled
> with regular non-llvm gcc to native sparc binary) functions from within
> LLVM code? Or ABI is competely broken?
I think best answer will be: try it and let us know :) Currently there
is no active sparc maintainer, thus it will be safe to assume it to be
arbitrary broken.

> Do you mean calls like __gnu_cxx::__exchange_and_add ?
