Sorry to repeat myself, but this is what Clasp [1] does (I am not affiliated with it, I promise). I am in favor of integrating tightly with a compiler whenever possible, but the selling point of c-amplify is to be independent from any compiler or your existing toolchain. This means that (1) you can work with a in-house proprietary compiler for specific hardware like a game console (author used to develop games) and (2) you code according to some stable C standard and not against a possibly evolving compiler. I suppose the LLVM API is quite stable, but things might break over time. [1] https://github.com/drmeister/clasp https://github.com/drmeister/clasp
