LLVM IR vs bitcode

indutny opened this issue 7 years ago · 2 comments

Can we generate bitcode directly without textual IR? It seems that LLVM IR has limited backwards compatibility (if any), although it appears to consume the same input across many different versions (from 5.0.0 to 7.0.0).

According to LLVM team IR should not be a output of this library. Compatibility can be broken anytime.

The transition is over in v3.0.0-beta0
