Hi all,

I'd like to propose that we add an official set of Go bindings to the LLVM
project. These bindings are based on the existing "gollvm" project \[1\]. (Note
that all contributors to the gollvm project have agreed to relicense their
changes under the LLVM license and submit them to the LLVM project.) The
bindings would live in the LLVM tree under the bindings/go directory.

One thing that I'd like to see come out of this is the contribution of an
official Go frontend to the project, based on the existing llgo project \[2\]
which uses these bindings.

I am also submitting a patch with the initial version of the code to
llvm-commits.

Peter, I'm not hearing any really serious concerns about the overall strategy here (provided that we've gotten a good resolution on the issue raised by Andrew Wilkins, but it sounds like that's OK).

I'm going to look at reviewing the patches, and I think if no one shouts about a problem, you should move forward with landing this next week (provided the patch review is done, maybe the review takes longer).

I just want to say I'm really excited about this and thanks for doing the leg-work on getting things together.
