Reimplementing llvm-gcc as a gcc plugin - Duncan Sands, Deep Blue Capital

—
Mainline gcc is now able to load additional logic and passes at run-time via a plugin mechanism. It may be possible to replace gcc's optimizers and code generators with those of LLVM via a plugin without needing to modify gcc at all. The goal is to obtain an equivalent of llvm-gcc in this way. I will describe the current status of this project.
