[LLVMdev] Does current LLVM target-independent code generator supports my strange chip?

[Nico]

Hi,

perhaps a little bit off topic, but I read 'OpenCL':

OpenCL is very often mentioned with LLVM and Clang. Is it possible to  
use OpenCL with LLVM/Clang (I mean the official repository) by now? Or  
is there a schedule which shows when we will see OpenCL-support in  
LLVM/Clang?

Thanks,
Nico
