[LLVMdev] Stable release of pool allocation?

[Chuck Zhao]

Not sure if anybody has noticed:

The PoolAlloc release source code extracted from SVN won't even build.
I tried it last night, on WinXP/Cygwin, for both the LLVM-2.5 release, 
as well as the latest LLVM, neither would build -- with compile-time errors.

With that being said, I have no idea which LLVM release the current 
PoolAlloc trunk is checked in with.
Could anybody point this out?
Or, at least make the least poolalloc build with either 2.5 or latest LLVM ?

Thank you

Chuck

P.S.
This is the command I used to extract PoolAlloc code:
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/poolalloc/trunk poolalloc
