2SparcV8 backend skeleton
3------------------------
4
5This directory houses a 32-bit SPARC V8 backend employing an expander-based
6instruction selector.  It is not yet functionally complete.  Watch
7this space for more news coming soon!

12The SparcV8 backend works on many simple C++ SingleSource codes. Here
13are the known SingleSource failures:

15	Regression/C++/EH/exception_spec_test
16	Regression/C++/EH/throw_rethrow_test
17	Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/moments
18	Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/random

20Here are the known MultiSource test failures, neglecting FreeBench,
21MallocBench, and Prolangs-C++:
