The ARM backend now supports both the Thumb2 and Advanced SIMD (Neon) instruction sets.</code></pre> <p>Looking through the source code for llvm 2.9 (latest release), there are a few references to cortex-m3.</p> <p>Worse comes to worst, you can release an <code>iMaple</code> that uses Apple's A5 processor.</p> <p>If we could get LLVM/Clang support, that's be very epic.
