2SparcV8 backend skeleton
3------------------------

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:

16	Regression/C++/EH/exception_spec_test
17	Regression/C++/EH/throw_rethrow_test

19	Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/random
20	Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/wordfreq

22Here are some known MultiSource test failures - this is probably not a
23complete list right now.
