154List</a>
155
156<p>This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
157LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code for

161List</a>
162
163<p>This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
164commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
