[LLVMdev] TableML status

[Patrick Walton]

Hi,

I've been working on TableML some more and I thought I would see about 
how I should work on getting it into the tree, since it's nearing a 
usable state.

So far I have a (mostly) working interpreter for a subset of Standard 
ML. After interpreting a set of definitions, the interpreter passes the 
resulting values off to a backend for serialization. The idea, for those 
who didn't see my previous email, is to replace TableGen for use cases 
that require more expressiveness. In particular, I was envisioning using 
it in llvmc2 to express compiler driver logic.

Currently the TableML source is about 4000 lines, which I'm aware is 
already too big for a patch. I didn't want to send something that didn't 
actually do anything for inclusion in the tree, though, and this is 
about the minimal size that could actually be useful. If anyone has 
suggestions about how to proceed or comments on TableML in general, I'd 
be glad to hear them.
