[llvm-dev] Fwd: Question about the platform/OS used by most LLVM developers

[Gratian Lup via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I'm working on a tool that is very useful for understanding and visualizing
compiler IR and the plan is to open source it next year ('m a dev on the
MSVC optimizer at Microsoft). It's a Windows-based UI tool, but does work
well on Linux using Wine with a couple of distributions I tried, including
Ubuntu.

What I wonder is what OS most LLVM devs use for the typical dev work, bug
investigations etc. that involve dealining with LLVM IR/MLIR. I assume most
are not using Windows, but do wonder about the Linux/Mac OS split, and then
for Linux what distro.

Was there such a survey ever done? If I'd make a survey, would people be
willing to answer it? :) Knowing this would help make sure the tool works
fine for the platform used by most LLVM devs.

Thanks,
Gratian Lup
