Self-hosting is orthogonal to this question. In principle one can make the ClojureC compile run on ClojureC and be self-hosting. > 3) What if I have a syntax error in C?

In a perfect world the compiler always outputs correct C, just like it would always output correct LLVM intermediate code. In both cases things can go wrong. I do see advantages to using LLVM. Better GC integration would be one, (better) self-containment of the toolchain, as you say, another. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
