>> Also note that the documentation is unintentionally misleading. It's very confusing for http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/LangImpl4.html to show "Last modified: $Date: 2007-10-17 11:05:13 -0700 (Wed, 17 Oct 2007) $" at the bottom, as if nothing had changed since then, when the code it displays is actually less than a week old... I guess the source code snippets are updated automagically. As a result, the code shown there as an example will NOT compile on anything but a most recent LLVM, i.e. it will not work if you install LLVM with apt-get or MacPorts. I don't think that's desirable.

These are the docs I get by default if I click on "documentation" then "Tutorial" then ... or if I use Google. How is a poor schmuck trying to build his first LLVM tool supposed to figure out that the documentation is not "the right one"?
