<p>Of particular note, the bytecode format number is simply a 32-bit
monotonically increasing integer that identifies the version of the bytecode
format (which is not directly related to the LLVM release number). The
bytecode versions defined so far are (note that this document only
describes the latest version, 1.3):</p>
describes the latest version, 2.0):</p>
<ul>
<li>#0: LLVM 1.0 &amp; 1.1</li>
<li>#1: LLVM 1.2</li>
<li>#2: LLVM 1.2.5 (not released)</li>
<li>#3: LLVM 1.3</li>
<li>#4: LLVM 1.3.x (not released)</li>
<li>#5: LLVM 1.4 and newer</li>
<li>#5: LLVM 1.4 through 1.8</li>
<li>#6: LLVM 1.9</li>
<li>#7: LLVM 2.0 and newer</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that we plan to eventually expand the target description

of bytecode files to <a href="http://llvm.org/PR263">target
triples</a>.
