Hi Gregory,

Thanks for the patch! This was definately lacking! As far as another 
missing LLVM-C feature is concerned, it would be useful (for me at 
least) to be able to create an in-memory object file of an LLVM module. 
Personally, i 'd need this for an Erlang/HiPE backend that I'm 
developing; i could use that functionality to be able to load LLVM 
generated native code to the existing Virtual Machine.

Please correct if i'm wrong (or this functionality is useless for anyone 
else) but this is not possible in the current bindings. Maybe you could 
give me some implementation hints and I could write these bindings.

Kind regards,
Yiannis
