Anyone any idea on the contributions of Embarcadero to the LLVM project?

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/30

With the huge dependency of Delphi on the LLVM project – basically none of their cross-platform support falls apart without LLVL – I wonder how much Embarcadero and their. mother company Idera contributed back to the LLVM project (which isn’t hard, see [Wayback/Archive] Contributing to LLVM — LLVM 20.0.0git documentation).

I tried these queries with remarkably few results:

The ones found were contributed by [Wayback/Archive] jwiegley (John Wiegley) · GitHub and [Wayback/Archive] atoker · GitHub. I could not find back who atoker is, but John Wiegley was part of the C++ Builder 1 team [Wayback/Archive] The C++Builder 25th Anniversary: Visual Development, the Power of the C++ Language and 2.5 decades of Continuing Excellence but made the patches while working for Boostpro, for instance [Wayback/Archive] [cfe-commits] PATCH [1/2]: Implementation of Embarcadero expression traits.

Most commands use the database file C:\temp\History which has no extension as that is how I got the file in the first place (spoiler: it’s a Chrome browser History from one of my user profiles).

Let’s get started:
