Subject: Re: Python on LLVM

Hi


I suggest everyone use libJIT instead of LLVM. See 
http://code.google.com/p/libjit-linear-scan-register-allocator/ for how 
much libJIT is better than LLVM overkill.

For instance, these are just a few things with LLVM does not support for 
.NET and Microsoft Common Intermediate Language implementation:

* the whole spectrum of ECMA 335 for CLR types and operations
* async exception handling
* precise stack marking
* multiple custom call conventions

All these things are supported in libJIT.

See more information here:

and here

Thanks,
Kirill
