Regarding your first question, if you can use the MCJIT engine a caching mechanism will be available very soon. I'm preparing to commit a patch today to add this capability. I'm not sure what it would take to get something similar working with the older JIT engine. I expect it would take a fair amount of work because the older JIT engine isn't designed around object loading as the MCJIT engine is.<br>

This is tightly coupled with the current execution and does not apply to other executions. MCJIT allows this by virtue of having a not-yet-loaded ELF object which can be cached for later use. I imagine this is what you do in your patch, Andy.</div>

Regarding your second question, there might be more than one way to do this, but once you have an llvm::Function (but before you JIT the code) you should be able to use llvm::Function::setCallingConv().<br>

Subject: [LLVMdev] LLVM JIT Questions<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
For my current project I need a couple of informations about JIT. I seen similar questions already, but the answers are a bit older and I hope somebody can provide me a recent information.<br>
<br>
1. In my project I frequently construct LLVM IR, compile it and execute with JIT. Because the constructed IR is often the same (but can vary depending on input data) I would like to cache produced machine code on the disk. There is no JIT API for dumping and loading of compiled code.<br>
<br>
Are there any plans to add this feature in the near future ?<br>
<br>
How complex would it be to implement this for somebody who has only experience with LLVM code generation, but no deep knowledge of JIT internals ?<br>
<br>
2. I also need to interface with C-libraries which are either loaded as a shared library or pre-compiled with clang and loaded as BC file.<br>
However, LLVM does not provide a way how to construct function signature compatible with the C-ABI of the specific platform. I know that clang library has internally this information, but I need this functionality without clang.<br>
<br>
Is there any documentation which describes how to do generate C-ABI compatible LLVM functions or code that implements this functionality ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Dmitri<br>
