[cfe-dev] Targeting Clang?

I am considering writing a LLVM back end for Scala. A major goal of mine is
interoperability with C (and perhaps C++)
Would it make sense to try to leverage parts of Clang for this purpose? Is
there an intermediate language for c/c++/objc that languages are compiled
into before being compiled to LLVM?  That would be optimal. If that's not
possible, are there parts of clang that are recommended for use with other
languages?

Failing any of that, does anyone have any recommendations for setting out to
build an LLVM back end for a language with the goal of ABI compatibility in
mind?

Thanks,

Rick Richardson
