Try rewording stuff talking about unwinding. Hopefully it will make llvm sound less bad, and still make John happy. :)

benchmarks. It has also been used to compile

C++ programs, though it has still received much less testing than the C

Note that the Sparc and X86 backends do not currently support exception throwing
|
||||
or long jumping (including 253.perlbmk in SPEC). For these programs, you must
|
||||
use the C backend. Support for unwinding will be added in a future release.
|
||||
The LLVM native code generators are very stable, but do not currently support
|
||||
unwinding (exception throwing or <tt>longjmp</tt>ing), which prevent them from
|
||||
working with programs like the <tt>253.perlbmk</tt> in SPEC CPU2000. The C
|
||||
backend and the rest of LLVM does support these programs however, so you can
|
||||
still use LLVM with them. Support for unwinding will be added in a future
|
||||
release.
