Hi Caius: I was aware that MacRuby uses LLVM runtime but I believe it is still using the GCC 4.2 compiler infrastructure. LLVM claims to support Objective-C, C and C++ compilation with much better diagnostics than GCC. Bob Rice On Sep 17, 2010, at 6:45 AM, Caius Durling wrote:

After viewing the introduction to Xcode 4 and LLVM, I am curious if MacRuby compiler could be integrated into and directly compiled by LLVM. LLVM claims to have much improved diagnostics and an enviable analysis phase. Is this idea on the MacRuby roadmap?
MacRuby is already using LLVM, from the homepage: "MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 directly on top of Mac OS X core technologies such as the Objective-C runtime and garbage collector, the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Foundation and ICU frameworks."
