Re: GCC + libJIT instead of LLVM
Hello Everyone
I wanted to let you know that if there is someone interested in
working on the libJIT approach instead of using LLVM overkill under a
Google Summer of Code code project and more general on this topic or
as a diploma I am ready to mentor and help with this.
Thanks,
Kirill
