		nickpsecurity on Jan 1, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: IR is better than assembly (2013) It's interesting since I proposed using LLVM in place of inline assembly a while back. I got this counter point when I asked on ESR's blog: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2011-October/043724... Any LLVM experts have thoughts on this or my original goal within the context of LLVM's current situation?

I'm the opposite of an LLVM expert, but I'm having a hard time seeing the relevance of that email. It's about how LLVM IR isn't cross platform, but inline assembly isn't either, right?
