[GHC] #12470: Move LLVM code generator to LLVM bitcode format
#12470: Move LLVM code generator to LLVM bitcode format -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (LLVM) | Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently GHC produces LLVM's textual intermediate representation. While this is easy to produce, it's not the path recommended by LLVM's developers. Instead, they [[http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ir- backwards-compatibility|recommend]] that compilers produce LLVM bitcode, which they maintain much stronger backwards compatibility guarantees on. It seems sensible to move the backend over to this format. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12470 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
