[LLVMdev] LLVM built on VS C++ 2005

[Jeff Cohen]

I'm afraid that still does not completely answer the question.  I'll 
accept that it will work for C programs, given what you quote.  It says 
nothing about C++ however.  That's a different animal entirely.  g++ 
mangles names in a completely different fashion than VC++.  Does mingw 
use VC++ style mangling?  g++ processes exceptions in a completely 
different fashion than VC++.  I think you get the picture :)
