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

[Erick Tryzelaar]

Hi Dan,

That could make sense. For my language, all I really need to do is be
able to construct an ConstantInt and an ConstantFP from strings. We
could just expose that functionality for now. I'll whip up another
patch that supports that as well.
