[LLVMdev] new comer question

[Bin Xin]

Hello LLVMers,

  I am considering LLVM for a project, but I am not sure the handling of
(C/C++ or 3rd party) library code used by user program.  My
understanding is that if those library code comes in native format, then
all the benefit of LLVM is lost on them. Can they be decompiled into
LLVM bytecode, or what options are there if I want to write a runtime
pass that has to analyze native code?

Thanks,
