[LLVMdev] Left-to-right push of formal parameters

I don't know the answer to your question, but you can always cheat and have
your front-end produce LLVM IR with parameters in reverse order.  For example,
if you have f(int x, double y) in the original language, generate the IR
@f(double %y, i32 %x).

Ciao, Duncan.
