LLVM 1.7 has been released. "This release contains a completely rewritten llvm-gcc (based on GCC 4.0.1), a brand new SPARC backend, supports GCC-style generic vectors, supports SSE and Altivec intrinsics, support for Objective C/C++, the X86 backend generates much better code and can produce Scalar SSE code, this release has initial DWARF debugging support, includes a new llvm-config utility, has initial support for GCC-style inline assembly, and includes many target-independent code generator and optimizer improvements."

Great job, Chris! I really think your LLVM is revolutionary.
I have 2 questions:
1. How fast is the JIT compared to standard GCC?
2. Ehm... shall we see it in Leopard? :-)
