[LLVMdev] How to make Polly ignore some non-affine memory accesses

[Marcello Maggioni]

Strange , with --enable-shared (I use auto tool by the way ...) it gives:

MacBook-Pro-di-Marcello:examples Kariddi$ ./compile_ex.sh not_so_simple_loop
clang (LLVM option parsing): Unknown command line argument
'-enable-polly-viewer'.  Try: 'clang (LLVM option parsing) -help'
clang (LLVM option parsing): Did you mean '-enable-polly-vector'?

Seems like it doesn't compile the viewer option ...
