[LLVMdev] Memory clean for applications using LLVM for JIT compilation

[Frank Henigman]

Thanks for the reply, nice to have some validation.  I thought of
another approach which might be preferable:
generate relocatable code, use a JITEventListener to grab each
function and copy it to my own memory,
let all the LLVM stuff die normally then use my copy of the code.
However when I call setRelocationModel(Reloc::PIC_) on the engine
builder I get code that seg faults.
The assembly looks plausible at a glance, but I'm not really up to
speed on x86 assembly.
Is PIC supposed to work with JIT on X86-32?
