Are there plans for an LLVM LIBXAR?
Not particularly. There are several good reasons to write one though:
- libxar's interface doesn't allow for *not* writing to disk
- It doesn't support Windows
- As mentioned in the other comment, it exposes a rather primitive C interface that is out of place in LLVM's C++
However... I don't think any of the above make it enough of a priority for the people currently working on LLD-MachO. I was actually considering proposing it as a GSoC project, but I see that the deadline for this year has passed. You're welcome to take a stab at it if you want :)
These headers already internally have C(++) compatibility.
