[llvm-dev] Is the CppBackend still supported?

[Stanislav Manilov via llvm-dev]

Hello,

I was trying to compile a simple program with the CppBackend like so:

$ clang str_arg.c -emit-llvm -S
$ llc -march=cpp str_arg.ll

It produces a file `str_arg.cpp` as expected, however it doesn't seem that
the resulting file is correct. For once, it includes
`<llvm/Analysis/Verifier.h>` which seems to have been moved to
`llvm/IR/Verifier.h` as far back as 2013.

My question is this: is the CppBackend supposed to work? If so, what am I
missing?

Listing of str_arg.c:

    #include <stdio.h>

    void i(unsigned index, char *string) {
      printf("%d %s\n", index, string);
    }

    int main() {
      i(10, "foo");
      return 0;
    }
