of the port include:
- A new 'descriptiveCilPrinter' class for friendlier messages.
- Bug fixes, esp. for 64-bit architectures.
A few APIs have also changed so 3rd-party code using the CIL toolkit
may need to be adapted.
Upstream changes include:
- A new module "Cfg" for computing control-flow graphs.
- Several new analyses: reaching definitions, liveness analysis,
available expressions, dead code elimination.
- New flag '--noInsertImplictCasts'.
- Support for C struct layouts used by microcontroller compilers.
- A rewrite of module ext/callgraph.
- Support for many GCC builtin functions.
- Many bug fixes.
- a new command line option --forceRLArgEval for forcing right to left
evaluation of function arguments,
- support for many more gcc builtins,
- numerous bug fixes.
- Make the port NOPORTDOCS clean.
- Remove a few portlint warnings.
- Take over as port maintainer.

CIL (C Intermediate Language) is a high-level representation along
with a set of tools that permit easy analysis and source-to-source
transformation of C programs.
CIL is both lower-level than abstract-syntax trees, by clarifying
ambiguous constructs and removing redundant ones, and also higher-level
than typical intermediate languages designed for compilation, by
maintaining types and a close relationship with the source program.
