What are the proprietary compilers that LLVM enabled? Are they significant?
Stallman's claim about the practical difference between gcc and LLVM is interesting but I'd like to know more details.
- tbrownaw 13y agoAnd more importantly, does their existence help or hinder the work done on LLVM?
- gurkendoktor 13y agoI assume that Apple's OpenGL stack that uses LLVM for optimisations on low-end GPUs is still proprietary and not included in source dumps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM#Description http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM#Description ...but I'm not really sure if that would be an example of extending LLVM or only of using it, which would make all the difference if it was copyleft software.
