During object loading, an ObjectFile is created within the RuntimeDyld which references both of these buffers. The situation is further compilicated in the case where the RuntimeDyldELF object attempts to register the generated object with GDB, because the GDB-interface requires a reference to both memory buffers. The GDB_required references are currently maintained in an ObjectImage instance which is held by RuntimeDyldELF.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">I am changing this by introducing an ObjectBuffer which would be allocated by the MCJIT object at compilation time and then passed to the RuntimeDyld::loadObject. RuntimeDyld::loadObject would hand this ObjectBuffer off to the new ObjectImage instance (which it already creates today). The ObjectImage would be returned from the RuntimeDyld::loadObject to MCJIT and MCJIT would own that object. The JIT memory manager continues to own the memory it allocated, but I believe the cross-dependencies are less fragile in the new implementation.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">This change should also be another step toward eventual (but not yet extant) multiple module support in MCJIT.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Thanks in advance for review comments.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">-Andy<o:p></o:p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>llvm-commits mailing list<br><a href="mailto:llvm-commits@cs.uiuc.edu">llvm-commits@cs.uiuc.edu</a><br>http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
