<div>You could get the data you want by recording the addresses
returned by the allocateCodeSection and allocateDataSection
methods on your RTDyldMemoryManager, then disassembling those
sections after you've called resolveRelocations. That's a
little unsatisfying though. For one thing, unless you very
carefully maintain the association with the original object
via back-channels there will be no way of knowing which
section belongs to which object file.</div>

I'm not using the loadObject interface today. On the surface, this
looks ideal, but I don't have any practical experience to confirm.
I'm currently using the interfaces on ExecutionEngine (i.e.
generateCodeForModule, mapSectionAddress, finalizeObject, then
getPointerToFunction)<div><div class="h5"><br>

Great stuff; thanks both!<br>
<br>
I'm also looking to turn my MCJIT conversion spike into
our main use<br>
case. The only thing I'm missing is the ability to get a
post-linked<br>
copy of the generated assembly.<br>
<br>
In JIT I used JITEventListener's NotifyFunctionEmitted
and used a<br>
MCDisassembler to disassemble the stream (with my own
custom<br>
annotators), and redirected the output to the relevant
place for<br>
auditing of our app.<br>
<br>
With MCJIT I notice that NotifyFunctionEmitted is gone<br>
(understandably) and so I hook NotifyObjectEmitted. I
then run through<br>
all the function symbols and dump them as before. Yay.
Except that in<br>
MCJIT terms the linking hasn't happened, so all the
globals and<br>
external functions are all zeros at this point. (If I
hackily observe<br>
the same code later on I see the linker has
appropriately populated<br>
these addresses). This makes my nicely annotated code a
little<br>
unreadable, unfortunately.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get
to disassemble<br>
the post-linked code?<br>
</blockquote>
</span>
my 2 cents: It seems like we need a different event type.
Having access to the object before linking (and relocation?)
seems useful, but I suspect most users (myself included)
want the final object after everything is done.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
You need to call llvm::sys::getHostCPUName() and
pass the result to<br>
createTargetMachine() passed to the JIT. This patch
should be applied:<br>

Anyhow, the JIT was removed from current code and
will not be in next LLVM<br>
release.<br>

Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
Thanks for a very quick reply! That indeed does
the trick!<br>
<br>
Presumably the default has changed in 3.5 to be a
"generic" CPU<br>
instead of the native one? If that's the case I
wonder why: especially<br>
when JITting it really only makes sense to target
the actual CPU -<br>
unless I'm missing something? :)<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>

Hi Matt,<br>
<br>
I suspect you need to specify the target CPU
when you create the JIT.<br>
It’s just a method on the builder (e.g.,
builder.setMCPU(MCPU)). If you want<br>
auto-detection based on the host CPU,
sys::getHostCPUName() returns a value<br>
suitable to be passed directly into the builder.<br>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I just upgraded our JIT system to use llvm 3.5
and noticed one big<br>
change in our generated code: we don't see any
non-destructive VEX<br>
prefix instructions being emitted any more
(vmulsd xmm0, xmm1, blah)<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
It's long been on my list of things to
investigate anyway as I noticed<br>
llvm didn't emit VZEROUPPER calls either, so I
supposed it might not<br>
be a bad thing to disable vex.<br>
<br>
That being said, try as I might I can't force
avx on<br>
(builder.setMCPU("core-avx-i") and/or<br>
builder.setMAttrs(vector<string>{"+avx"});).
We're still using the old<br>
JIT but I just spiked out a move to MCJIT and
I still don't see the<br>
VEX instructions.<br>
<br>
Was there a deliberate change on the llvm-side
to discourage VEX<br>
instructions unless they make a big enough
difference (and/or is<br>
VZEROUPPER now emitted?).<br>
<br>
If not, how might I go about digging further
into this?<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance, Matt<br>
<br>
