<p class="MsoNormal">Is… Lang now added? I’m not sure about this system…<br>
<br>
My problem is that I can not change the size of the shared memory I’m targeting – so I can only allocate it once, but how do I know how much memory I’m going to need, when each sections requests the memory after each other?<br>
To work around this I first allocate the memory locally and count the bytes it needed. After notifyObjectLoaded I can request the shared memory and do the mapping. But this only covers one module. If I have two modules for example, then I will end up having
two shared memories, because the second module will go through the same steps as the first one. But I want to have one coherent memory.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also the applying of the mapping causes a bug with the new LLVM7 – I already filled out a bug report for this. But I have no idea how things will progress from that point… Still I have no idea about the system…<u></u><u></u></p>

I take it the system you're targeting doesn't have the memory limitations that some systems have, where once memory is set executable, it can never be written to? & so you'd like to write some code into a page, execute it, write some more code into the same
page and have that execute too?<br>

(I don't know teh JIT architecture well enough to know if that's supported, or if I'm accurately understanding your situation, etc)<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I want to use the LLVM to write a JIT client, that works with shared memory. Currently I proceed as following:<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I wrote an own class that inherits "<i>RTDyldMemoryManager</i>". The functions "<i>allocateCodeSection</i>" and "<i>allocateDataSection</i>" are allocating local non-shared memory.
I store there addresses in a std::vector.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When the function "<i>finalizeMemory</i>" is invoked I copy the code from the local non-shared memory to the shared memory but only one time.
