    Lifepower : XE4 most certainly does not use LLVM for compilation, clang is barely stable, there's no pascal compiler for LLVM at all.

    Adding LLVM support to a compiler is like adding a whole new architecture and since it took them many years to add broken support for OSX and they're STILL missing Linux, I highly doubt that they've added a brand new target for their compiler (LLVM) and got it release stable for XE4 since the last delphi.

    If they have then they'll only be using it in the most simpliest sence IE for Arm compilation but even so to write a new front-end for LLVM?

    Clang isn't even stable! they're no way I'd trust a LLVM front-end that had been written so quickly.

    When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie - that's an extinction level impact event.
