[LLVMdev] llvm-g++ does not work!

Hi Reza,

this is not llvm-g++, this is the dragonegg plugin which someone (not the LLVM
project) is distributing as "llvm-gcc", an endless source of confusion.

First off, dragonegg doesn't know -emit-llvm, use -fplugin-arg-dragonegg-emit-ir
or -flto instead.  Secondly, to stop the LLVM IR produced being passed to the
system assembler, use -S rather than -c (in which case the output would better
be named main.ll).  In all this gives:

llvm-g++ -fno-inline-functions -I../../external/systemc-2.2.0/src/ 
-I../../external/TLM-2009-07-15/include/tlm -I../../external/basic -flto -S 
main.cpp -o main.ll

> Potential incompatible plugin version. GCC: 4.5.3. Expected: 4.5.4

What's more, the GCC and dragonegg versions don't match.  This is a bad idea.
Where did you get "llvm-gcc" from?  You should ask them to fix this.

Ciao, Duncan.
