[llvm-commits] Patch series to expose APInt and APFloat to llvm-c and ocaml

[Dan Gohman]

Hi Erick,

Is APInt/APFloat really the right level of abstraction to expose to the
C API? Would it make more sense to just provide more flexible ways to  
call
ConstantInt::get and ConstantFP::get from the C API?  The C++ API could
also be extended, if it would help here.  This would seem to be a more
convenient API to work with, and have the side benefit of being more
efficient.
