            Bug ID: 16922
           Summary: MCJIT and RuntimeDyld shouldn't kill the process
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Generic Execution Engine Support
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: andrew.kaylor at intel.com

    Classification: Unclassified

There are a large number of places where MCJIT and RuntimeDyld will kill the
current process, either with llvm_unreachable or report_fatal_error.  This
behavior is inappropriate for many clients of these components as it doesn't
allow for error recovery.

The llvm_unreachable calls might be acceptable in places where we really do
mean that the condition will never occur.  However, several of these locations
actually mark scenarios that can occur but aren't currently supported.

A better error handling and reporting mechanism is needed throughout this code.
