many updates, new gem version
I’ve merged many good patches into the main llvmruby branch. We are now officially using LLVM 2.4, compatible with Ruby 1.9 and more complete access to the LLVM API.
I recently became aware of a project by Marc-André Cournoyer using llvmruby to make a compiler for a little Ruby-ish language called Orange.
Miura Hideki has been making some great progress with his yarv2llvm project. He’s been compiling much more complex stuff and doing some really nice profiling work. I finally got to try it out for myself and it has a few issues running on 64-bit, so I plan on sending some fixes back his way.
