The CAML front-end to the LLVM compiler is just that, a front-end. I wouldn't foresee any migration of code from llvm into the OCaml core distribution. > What does O'Caml developers think about ocamlllvm compiler > in core distributive? Could you accept such patch? Even if the front-end has progressed, I imagine the lack of a garbage collector might be annoying.... I'm not at all involved with the LLVM compiler, so all my comments may be wrong. :) -- Jeffrey J.
