Anyone want to take a look at this and tell me if I am on a reasonable path?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 12:45 PM, Talin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:viridia@gmail.com">viridia@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It also adds code to the bitcode reader / writer and the assembly parser for the new type, as well as a tiny .ll test file in test/Assembler. It does not contain any code related to code generation or type layout - I wanted to see if this much was acceptable before I proceeded any further.<div>
