1) Is the LLVM Backend actively developed or should I be afraid it will be discontinued or broken?
My understanding is that it is being actively developed. Currently for numerical code, the LLVM backend performs better than the native codegen. I also think that the LLVM backend is the only option for ARM.
2) How can I generate the LLVM IR (or bc) files from the compiler? I see that durign compilation with -fllvm -v3 flags the bc files are created but they are immidietly (after usage) deleted - Is it possible to tell the compiler not to delete them?
As someone else stated, use `-keep-llvm-files` but be aware that GHC uses a custom calling convention so calling into GHC generated LLVM code is non-trivial. HTH, Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
