[LLVMdev] experimenting with partial evaluation

[NAKAMURA Takumi]

Good evening, Pierre.


Here is an example to you. attached. run with -disable-lazy-comilation.
It is *as-is* for Win32 but might be applicable to *-linux-elf more smartly.
It does get llvm::Function* by function ptr(not name!),
and clone a specialized function,
and execute specialized one
in the same context as parent lli.

AFAIK, current version of lli does not support.
I let lli to export current llvm::Module* and llvm::ExecutionEngine*.

Current llvm::Module const* could be gotten from llvm::Function const*,
but you must need not Module const* but writable one.
(or, clone a module to optimize)

 - to export some symbols in lli and llvm/lib. It would be difficult in Win32.
   I believe it possible to work with ELF.

 - to build llvm with shared object. Some APIs might be neede to
   your application. lli should resolve symbols when he reads *.bc.

I guess you will need a special version of lli.
