[LLVMdev] Extracting type information from header files

[Samuel Crow]

Hello Vitaly,

Clang supports LLVM Bitcode formatted precompiled headers if that is what you are looking for.  LLVM-GCC might be a different story though.  Also note that these headers will be different from one operating system to the next.  If you're looking for something portable, test out my wrapper at http://sourceforge.net/projects/llvmlibc/ in the SVN repo.
