[llvm-dev] how to build NE10 Project using llvm compiler

[yehuda marko via llvm-dev]

Hi,

Does llvm compiler knows to support NEON capabilities?
How it support it? Is there a library (similar to NE10 project) , that
support it ? can you share it ?

Thx

Clang 3.8 is pretty old, but it should support all of these instructions.
But those instructions are for AArch32 and if you're compiling for
Cortex-A72 you'd naturally be using the new 64-bit
AArch64 instruction set.

So what I suspect is happening is that the project is choosing the old
ARMv7 assembly implementations, either because it doesn't have 64-bit ones
or because something strange in the configuration is taking it down that
path.

Either way, you probably need to contact people involved with NE10 to sort
out what's going on.

Cheers.

Tim.
