Basically you can take this code +and start filling stuff in. + +This directory contains mainly stubs and placeholders; there is no binary +machine code emitter, no assembly writer, and no instruction selector +here. Most of the functions in these files call abort() or fail assertions +on purpose, just to reinforce the fact that they don't work. + +The things that are implemented are stubbed out in a pseudo-PowerPC target. +This should give you an idea of what to do, but anything implemented should +be replaced with your target details. + +As always, if you're starting a new port, please mention it on the llvmdev +list, and if you have questions, that is a great place to ask. + |
