DragonEgg: GCC front-ends, LLVM back-end
----------------------------------------
`DragonEgg <http://dragonegg.llvm.org/>`_ is a
`GCC plugin <http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/plugins>`_ that replaces GCC's optimizers
and code generators with LLVM's. It works with gcc-4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8, can
target the x86-32/x86-64 and ARM processor families, and has been successfully
used on the Darwin, FreeBSD, KFreeBSD, Linux and OpenBSD platforms. It fully
supports Ada, C, C++ and Fortran. It has partial support for Go, Java, Obj-C
and Obj-C++. Note that gcc-4.6 is the best supported version, and that Ada in
particular doesn't work well with gcc-4.7 and newer.
The `3.3 release <http://llvm.org/apt/>`_ has the following notable changes.
- supports gcc-4.8 (requires gcc-4.8.1 or newer)
- object files can be written directly using LLVM's integrated assembler
- produces saner debug info
- bitfields can now contain arbitrary scalar types (useful for Ada)
LLDB: Low Level Debugger
