The author of these patches is giving a talk at the LLVM dev meeting on Thursday:<p><a href="https://groups.google.com/a/groups.riscv.org/d/msg/sw-dev/Yp7lbvgg2Cg/9iioB3U2IgAJ" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/a/groups.riscv.org/d/msg/sw-dev/Yp...</a>

For those confused by the title, it means they're working on adding LLVM support for RISC-V.

When this is done, does it mean any LLVM language can compile to RISC-V? Or is there additional per-language work that would need to happen first?

So they have an LLVM target for RISC-V. They could submit that but they choose to divide it up into pieces and submit them piecemeal. This is the first piece of that meal. If you want to skip to the dessert:<p><a href="https://github.com/riscv/riscv-llvm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/riscv/riscv-llvm</a>

When will GCC get their RISC-V support? I thought I read the UCB lawyer issue got resolved. Or is that not so?
