[LLVMdev] Extracting type information from header files

[Chipounov Vitaly]

Samuel,

Thanks for your advice. 
llvm-gcc seems to emit precompiled headers (*.gch) in a non-llvm format (llvm-gcc -emit-llvm  -g  test.h)
I will try with Clang.

Vitaly C.

Hello Vitaly,

Clang supports LLVM Bitcode formatted precompiled headers if that is what you are looking for.  LLVM-GCC might be a different story though.  Also note that these headers will be different from one operating system to the next.  If you're looking for something portable, test out my wrapper at http://sourceforge.net/projects/llvmlibc/ in the SVN repo.
