First of all thanks for fast replay. I appreciated it:-)<BR>

Yes my compiler is written in C++ and I had followed tutorial you <BR>
mentioned.<BR>

Yes I am generating LLVM IR and dumping it to, so far only, .s file using <BR>
my compiler. Other two modules are already manually written so I need the <BR>
one that I generate to link with other two and run. And this was precisely <BR>
my question about. Is it even possible to do so? Can I generate only one <BR>
module, link it with other two and run, everything on the fly in my <BR>
compiler? It will be like glued everything together in one binary file <BR>
(compiler), all phases: compiling, linking, running using single binary. <BR>
From your answer I partially assumed that it is possible. Can you <BR>
recommend me some other tutorial or sample code?<BR>
