I'm not sure, but even if they didn't, AFAIK mesa uses LLVM to speed up CPU |
| 13 |
rendering, so you would probably want it regardless (my understanding is: in |
| 14 |
any case where a driver doesn't implement a particular OpenGL function, a |
| 15 |
software implementation can be used instead, and that can be accelerated/ |
| 16 |
optimised by LLVM). |

I would be surprised if the nouveau driver didn't use LLVM, too, but I don't |
| 23 |
know for sure. No idea about nvidia. |

No idea, sorry (also, I don't care ;-) ). |
