That is not the case here. There is already a version of gcc that uses llvm. What we are trying to find is if the GCC plugin infrastructure is generic enough to support similar use cases. In a previous mail I raised some issues in GCC that illustrate this. > So as a practical matter, it seems that LLVM lists are more suitable. > If it's ever decided that LLVM becomes a required piece of GCC, like > GMP and MPFR, that would change.
