Ok great, then I can throw away my bindings :) (unfortunately I couldn't publish them because of my former employee...).

Btw. regarding Barnard's comment about LLVM-C, I partially agree. Several additions/modifications were necessary in my case to be able to make the compiler fully work. I wonder if it's feasable to compile LLVM using DMC and then use extern(C++) to make an object oriented interface at some point, possibly using SWIG or something. But well.. apart from some missing features, I think the C interface is actually OK to work with, once you get over the missing documentation, so maybe it's really not worth the time.

I thought it doesn't yet support C++? But anyways, next time I have to make bindings for a C library I'll definitely try dstep.

No, it doesn't support C++. I was thinking about generating bindings for the C API.

The fact that the LLVM C++ API uses templates quite heavily might turn out to be a problem in that regard. I didn't have a look at how feasible it would be to just »pre-instantiate« all the needed combinations, though.
