[LLVMdev] WebKit + LLVM

[Filip Pizlo]

Hi everyone,

Over the past year WebKit has been working on implementing a JavaScript JIT based on LLVM. Well, we recently turned it on. :-)

Here's a post on the WebKit blog that describes the WebKit side of the story along with technical details on the how & why: https://www.webkit.org/blog/3362/introducing-the-webkit-ftl-jit/

There's still a lot more of a story to be told about the awesome LLVM-side engineering that made this possible.  For now though I'd just like to thank everyone involved in the LLVM project who helped out on this, especially Nadav, Andy and Juergen who drove the addition of new intrinsics and did a lot of the tuning. 

Thanks everyone! :-)
