Features

By compiling this project, we get some new mx commands to work with:

mx irbuilder-out path_to_file.bc # output the .ll equivalent ir as it's parsed by Sulong

mx irbuilder-test32 # Run LLVM 3.2 compatible irwriter tests (compile testsuite and test the written output)

mx irbuilder-test38 # Run LLVM 3.8 compatible irwriter tests (compile testsuite and test the written output)

mx irbuilder-testgen38 # Create LLVM 3.8 compatible LLVM-IR Testcases from scratch and use them to test Sulong
