This reapplies 8740360093, which was reverted in bbddadd46e due to buildbot
errors.
This version checks that a JIT instance can be safely constructed, skipping
tests if it can not be. To enable this it introduces new C API to retrieve and
set the target triple for a JITTargetMachineBuilder.
Adds support for creating custom MaterializationUnits in the C API with the new
LLVMOrcCreateCustomMaterializationUnit function.
Modifies ownership rules for LLVMOrcAbsoluteSymbols to make it consistent with
LLVMOrcCreateCustomMaterializationUnit. This is an ABI breaking change for any
clients of the LLVMOrcAbsoluteSymbols API.
Adds LLVMOrcLLJITGetObjLinkingLayer and LLVMOrcObjectLayerEmit functions to
allow clients to get a reference to an LLJIT instance's linking layer, then
emit an object file using it. This can be used to support construction of
custom materialization units in the common case where those units will
generate an object file that needs to be emitted to complete the
materialization.
This patch breaks Orc.h up into Orc.h, LLJIT.h and OrcEE.h.
Orc.h contain core Orc utilities.
LLJIT.h contains LLJIT specific types and functions.
OrcEE.h contains types and functions that depend on ExecutionEngine.
The intent is that these headers should match future library divisions: Clients
who only use Orc.h should only need to link againt the Orc core libraries,
clients using LLJIT.h will also need to link against LLVM core, and clients
using OrcEE.h will also have to link against ExecutionEngine.
In addition to breaking up the Orc.h header this patch introduces functions to:
(1) Set the object linking layer creation function on LLJITBuilder.
(2) Create an RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer instance (particularly for use in (1)).
(3) Register JITEventListeners with an RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer.
Together (1), (2) and (3) can be used to force use of RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer
as the underlying JIT linker for LLJIT, rather than the platform default, and
to register event listeners with the RTDyldObjectLinkingLayer.
