<div dir="ltr">Hi Marwa,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MCJIT doesn't provide any support for recompilation. The best you can do is use multiple MCJIT instances and destroy whichever one contains the function "foo" that you want to recompile. MCJIT does not do any dependence tracking either, so you'll also
need to destroy and recompile any direct callers of "foo" (and their direct callers, and so on). If you know you want to be able to recompile a function it may be best to only call it indirectly - that way all you have to do is delete the containing MCJIT
instance, create a new MCJIT instance, and update your function pointer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may find the Orc APIs a better fit for what you're doing: they at least support removing individual modules from the JIT session, so you don't have to maintain multiple JIT instances yourself. You'll still need to manage the invalidation and/or function
pointer update. If you come up with a scheme for that though we could look at adding it in-tree. You might also be able to make some use of the utilities in include/llvm/ExecutionEngine/Orc/IndirectionUtils.h.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In case it's useful, I've attached an example that uses the Orc APIs to do recompilation at higher optimization levels, based on the Kaleidoscope tutorials. This was motivated by the following mailing list discussion:

<p>Dear All</p>
<p>Is there is a way to recompile a function at runtime?</p>
<p>It seems that I need to -like - invalidate the recompiled function to force the MCJIT to recompile it, cause when I just call runFunction, it neglects any modifications in the function code.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
