LLVM language output

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

LLVM language output

Post by Yann64 »

I know it is not something trivial, but I was thinking that as non-intel compatible chips become more and more common (smartphones, chromebooks, NAS, etc...), it would be nice to have Purebasic output LLVM language (as a selectable option?), making it de facto compatible with all LLVM supported processor architectures.
A huge scope for such a small team as Fantaisie Software, so probably will not happen. May have a look on my side at the feasability by testing simple console programmes.

Apparently LLVM is something very interesting :shock:
Even FRED, talk about it, a day :wink:

You can't have LLVM output for the purpose of targeting other architectures unless you discard all of the platform-specific libraries.
