This is not the most recent released version.

If you follow the LLVM releases religiously the most recent release is 3.7.
If you follow your distribution the most recent release may be 3.5 or 3.4 (or earlier).
Distributions still include version 2.7.

All these releases are incompatible with each other, but only in the (massive amounts of) boilerplate needed AFAICS.

You need to cover this or you're already out of date.

Hi,
Thanks for this beautiful tutorial!
It has been awesome to learn the basics of LLVM!
My question is... Do you know a way of minimizing the size of the final executable?
On my Linux the final executable has been generating about 80Mb, although I do not think that I would need so much in pure C, for example. I have a Brainfuck Interpreter that is sized 16Kb (even though small, still very big)...
I do not have any clues about the libraries I could take off when executing my Makefile...
Brainfuck is a very small language and for that, I would like to try to make a small compiler as well...
Although I understand the power of the LLVM... Brainfuck may be only too simple.

Anyways I love your tutorial!
Thank you so much!
Luiz.
