<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">At some point LLVMAddGlobalMapping was broken/unsupported for MCJIT. It sounds like that is still the case.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">There are a couple of ways around this with the C++ interface (either add the symbol using sys::DynamicLibrary::AddSymbol() or create a custom memory manager
which provides direct symbol resolution for the local functions you might use), but I don’t think either of these solutions are supported in the C interface.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I don’t think it would take much work to get the global mapping support added back into MCJIT. When this last came up I believe that the other approaches were
judged to be better. Your C-interface use case might be sufficient to argue for global mapping support.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
