<p class="MsoNormal">I'm by no means an expert on the JIT layers, but ExecutionEngine is an abstract interface. In theory, each implementation of that interface should function similarly, but in practice YMMV. You're using MCJIT, which is the older JIT flow
which is not getting a lot of attention these days. You might get further if you switch to using the OrcMCJITReplacement, or migrate to the Orc APIs more generally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are some very handy new interfaces in the Orc APIs, like the LLJIT classes which get things going pretty easy. I've been using LLJIT in my project, and it is really easy to setup, keep around and add multiple IR modules to.<o:p></o:p></p>
