Moves all headers from Orc/RPC to Orc/Shared, and from the llvm::orc::rpc
namespace into llvm::orc::shared. Also renames RPCTypeName to
SerializationTypeName and Function to RPCFunction.
In addition to being a more reasonable home for this code, this will make it
easier for the upcoming Orc runtime to re-use the Serialization system for
creating and parsing wrapper-function binary blobs.
implementation.
This patch aims to improve support for out-of-process JITing using OrcV2. It
introduces two new class templates, OrcRPCTargetProcessControlBase and
OrcRPCTPCServer, which together implement the TargetProcessControl API by
forwarding operations to an execution process via an Orc-RPC Endpoint. These
utilities are used to implement out-of-process JITing from llvm-jitlink to
a new llvm-jitlink-executor tool.
This patch also breaks the OrcJIT library into three parts:
-- OrcTargetProcess: Contains code needed by the JIT execution process.
-- OrcShared: Contains code needed by the JIT execution and compiler
processes
-- OrcJIT: Everything else.
This break-up allows JIT executor processes to link against OrcTargetProcess
and OrcShared only, without having to link in all of OrcJIT. Clients executing
JIT'd code in-process should start linking against OrcTargetProcess as well as
OrcJIT.
In the near future these changes will enable:
-- Removal of the OrcRemoteTargetClient/OrcRemoteTargetServer class templates
which provided similar functionality in OrcV1.
-- Restoration of Chapter 5 of the Building-A-JIT tutorial series, which will
serve as a simple usage example for these APIs.
-- Implementation of lazy, cross-target compilation in lli's -jit-kind=orc-lazy
mode.
