[cdt-dev] LLVM plugin for Eclipse CDT

[Petri Tuononen <petri.tuononen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I feel like I have a great proposition to make. I have been working on 
LLVM plugin for Eclipse CDT for some time now. This allows compilation 
of C/C ++ code with Clang or llvm-gcc front-ends using LLVM as a 
backend. LLVM static compiler and JIT practically also implemented. 
Linux and Windows platforms are targeted, but would work on Mac OS X 
too. This is the first ever LLVM plugin targeted for Eclipse and 
development is in quite good shape regardless of the man power. The 
plugin uses EPL open-source license and would be highly appreciated if 
this project would get part of the 'official' CDT sub-projects in order 
to ensure its further development.

The new LLVM toolchain would be just perfect addition to CDT don't you 
think?

I would like to be part of the following teleconferences etc. what is 
necessary and introduce it further. Also documentation is widely 
available on request. I'm also willing to help to work with this project 
further and would appreciate a committer status as I have been fixing 
multiple amounts of CDT bugs lately. This committer status could be 
targeted only to LLVM-CDT integration plug-in, because a proper web 
hosting for update site would be appropriate.

Currently this is a plugin project hosted on Google code
http://code.google.com/p/llvm4eclipsecdt

SVN repository: https://llvm4eclipsecdt.googlecode.com/svn/

The plan would be to make this project as an integral part of CDT and 
for that I need all the help the CDT community can provide.

I hope you all fellow developers take this as an option and think of the 
amount of users it would affect and all the limitless options it may 
bring. Let's make CDT even better!

Best Regards,
