It's useful for the memory managers that are allocating a section to know what the name of the section is. At a minimum, this is extremely useful for low-level debugging - it's customary for JITs to be able to tell you what memory they allocated, and as part of any such dump, they should be able to tell you some meta-data about what each allocation is for. This allows clients that supply their own memory managers to do this. Additionally, we also envision the SectionName being useful for passing meta-data from within LLVM to an LLVM client.<br><br>This changes both the C and C++ APIs, and all of the clients of those APIs within LLVM. I'm assuming that it's safe to change the C++ API because that API is allowed to change. I'm assuming that it's safe to change the C API because we haven't shipped the API in a release yet (LLVM 3.3 doesn't include the MCJIT memory management C API).<br><br>-Filip<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">_______________________________________________<br>llvm-commits mailing list<br><a href="mailto:llvm-commits@cs.uiuc.edu" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">llvm-commits@cs.uiuc.edu</a><br><a href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</a><o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
