Hello!

Some time ago, there was a discussion about integrating LLVM and GCC
[1]. However, with plugin infrastructure in place, could LLVM be
plugged into GCC as an additional optimization plugin?

Hi Uros,

I'd love to see this, but I can't contribute to it directly. I think the plugin interfaces would need small extensions, but there are no specific technical issues preventing it from happening. LLVM has certainly progressed a lot since that (really old) email went out :)
