153List</a>
154
155<p>This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
156LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code for

162<p>This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
163commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
