<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">There was a suggestion back in January (and even a patch) that we add an option to have RuntimeDyld scan the image before it does any allocation and give the
memory manager enough information to pre-allocate all the blocks that would be necessary. Here’s a link to the discussion:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One of my colleagues actually wrote a memory manager that worked this way back when we were first implementing RuntimeDyld for ELF on x86-64 platforms, but
after some discussion we decided that it was more complicated than we wanted -- at least for a default implementation of the memory manager. That said, this issue has come up regularly so I definitely think it is worth addressing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don't think we'd need mmap. I'm imagining that this mode would be for regression tests only. It would use a trivial RTDyldMemoryManager subclass that wraps a bump-ptr allocator and reserves some small amount of memory (~16Mb seems like
it should be fine) up front. <o:p></o:p></p>

As discussed with echristo on IRC, small code model for JIT does work IF<br>
the memory manager ensures that the constraints are implemented. The<br>
default implementation does *not* do that. The necessary mmap flags are<br>
not portable either.<br>
