Hi there,

thanks to your support we are now able to parse all what we need to parse.
Now, for the program "parse, pretty-print, compile and compare the results",
we are dealing with pretty-printing.  We are stuck due to the problem
explained in

     http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3261

If this is not fixed, we believe a "local" pretty-printer (i.e., one
that does not have to reconstruct the visible portion of the environment)
is not possible.  The solution proposed in Comment #2 in the bug report
would solve all our problems.  What do you think?
All the best,

     Roberto
