   Hi All,   
   I have a query regarding IL design.  Please suggest me, which IL to   
   choose or referred from the following three:   
      
   A)WHIRL   
   B)LLVM   
   C)GIMPLE(gcc- tree)   
      
   If i consider the following points for IL design:   
   1.Source Code Information                       (contain only   
   necessary source code information)   
   2.Optional information for Optimization      (Can be segregated from   
   source code information)   
   3.Optimizations:   
   (Easy for Optimizer to transform)   
   4.Extendibility                            (Vendor specific features   
   such as compiler directives)   
   5.Portability:                   (Should be capable to support wide   
   variety of hardware architecture.)   
      
   For example (Vectorization support)   
   6.Convertibility:               (Developing IL translators should be   
   of manageable complexity.)   
      
   Thanks and Regards,
