[LLVMdev] Code generation support in llvm for windows phone

[Rajat Mahajan]

I am talking about Windows Mobile 8 and 8.1 and not CE.
Not sure though that the Windows 8 (ARM NT) is similar to Windows Mobile 8 platform.

I used the following command to generate the obj file
    Llc.exe -mtriple=thumbv7-windows  -filetype=obj  <some_name>.bc

The object file generated in the above object doesn't get linked when I try to link it with the windows mobile library as it fails to recognize the object format.  ( Not a valid object file )

Hope I am clear.

As Reid mentioned, I have been working on this recently.  Just to make sure that we are talking about the same environment, I assume that you are talking about Windows 8 (ARM NT) rather than the Windows CE based environment.

Can you please explain what exactly you mean by "the object file generated is not getting linked to the windows native project".  The object file that we generate should be pretty compatible with MSVC.  If you have specific cases where we are generating something that is incompatible, I would be quite interested in hearing about that.
