[PATCH] D31001: CloneModule: add an option for a custom LLVMContext

[Peter Collingbourne via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

pcc added a comment.

Does this really work? I believe that with this the original and the cloned module will share things like types, which is a violation of the invariant that LLVM IR objects must not be shared between contexts.

When I needed to clone a module into another LLVMContext, I could not see a better way to do it than to serialize it to bitcode and deserialize it into the new LLVMContext (see http://llvm-cs.pcc.me.uk/lib/CodeGen/ParallelCG.cpp).
