[LLVMdev] Current state of the (new) CBackend & LLVM/clang with Microsoft Visual Studio

[Jonas Gefele]

Hi.

I am interested in using the CBackend of LLVM. I have read about the 
problems with the current version and that David Greene has started a 
reimplementation. Can you tell me about its current state?

Furthermore, I use Microsoft Visual Studio. The "Getting started with 
MVC" documents for release 2.8 say "To emphasize, there is no C/C++ 
front end currently available" but I had no problems compiling and using 
clang so far. Have I just been lucky and didn't hit a problem so far 
(but will probably do so, as soon as I compile more complex things)? Or 
is clang working fine for my use case (converting C++ to C)?

Ciao,
Jonas
