All the backends however are not yet fully up to speed, but x86 is very well supported. There are some problems with exceptions on other targets afaik, but these are all being sorted out. The just-out LLVM 2.2 release is much closer than they've been before and I suspect 2.3 will put an end to most of the big issues.
Last I checked, llvm exception handling claimed to be rather specific to C++'s exception mechanism, since no other languages with exception handling had llvm compilers. Do you have any idea how difficult it will be to use that system for D?
