[LLVMdev] CallInst API Changes Ready [was: Re: llvm-gcc-4-2 development branch is open]

[Reid Spencer]

David,

llvm-gcc (4.0) will make it into the repository at llvm.org. It just
hasn't yet. 

Devang's 4.2 compiler is not ready but was brought out into the light a
bit to (hopefully) garner some help with it. 

We will soon have 3 C/C++ front ends in the repository :)

Reid.
