[cfe-dev] exc_bad_instruction on arm

Hi Anton,

I don't follow what you're asking?

For (1): You can compile c++ files to .ll files with clang - it seems like
you've already worked that out.

For (2): What do you mean "supported at the moment"? In the 3.5 release
MCJIT is known to be broken for MachO/ARM. The Interpreter and the JIT are
both poorly tested (and seem to be broken, as you discovered). On the
development branch many of the bugs in MCJIT have been fixed, and I would
expect MCJIT to work for simple test cases. The JIT has been removed
entirely, and the Interpreter is still poorly tested. :)

I look forward to checking out the bug reports.

Good luck!

- Lang.
