It +uses the new gcc plugin architecture to disable the GCC optimizers and code +generators, and schedule the LLVM optimizers and code generators (or direct +output of LLVM IR) instead. Currently only Linux and Darwin are supported, +and only on x86-32 and x86-64. It should be easy to add additional unix-like +architectures and other processor families. Since gcc-4.5 has not yet been +released, neither has <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a>. +To build <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> you will need to +check out the development versions of <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html/"> +gcc</a>, <a href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#checkout">llvm</a> +and <a href="http://dragonegg.llvm.org/">DragonEgg</a> from their respective +subversion repositories. </p> </div> |
