- mtdewcmu 12y agoThe part that LLVM is doing: code generation, optimization, etc. I don't think writing a whole compiler is a reasonable goal at anywhere near that level of effort. But I just pointed out that it's an exaggeration. Gcc's architecture is split into front, middle, and back end. This corresponds closely to what Gcc calls the front end, afaik.
