<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely try it out, seems like
the cleanest and least invasive way to do this.<br>
</p>
<p>Though, I feel like this should also be possible with statically
linking the ExecutionEngine into the plugin shared object.</p>
<p>I don't quite understand how the concrete Interpreter/MCJIT
linking via llvm/ExecutionEngine/Interpreter.h and
llvm/ExecutionEngine/MCJIT.h works. So far I was only using
ExecutionEngine.h without Interpreter or MCJIT, so that could have
been the problem why static linking didn't work.<br>
</p>
<p>After playing around with Zhangs solution I've found out that I
get the same undefined symbol to llvm::EngineBuilder error when
omitting the MCJIT header and lib (since I actually only need an
interpreter), my guess is that this is due to Interpreter.h
missing the getenv trick used in MCJIT.h to prevent it being
optimized away by the compiler? I might take a closer look at this
at some point, right now I'm just happy to finally be able to work
on my opt pass.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Viktor<br>
