This is after GNAT Ada 4.5 worked well enough with the Dragonegg LLVM = back-end and GNAT Ada 4.6 is considered to be working the best. Is anyone in the Ada community actively engaged with the Dragonegg project = to help fix the divergence between GNAT Ada 4.7 & onward and the Dragonegg = LLVM backend of GCC 4.7 & onward? AdaCore is unlikely to embrace the Drago= negg project. The A#1 benefit of GNAT on Dragonegg's LLVM backend would be to have GNAT a= vailable for target ISAs that GCC no longer supports at all (or no longer s= upports well) but for which LLVM has active support, such as arm-apple-darw= in for iOS development.
