[llvm-commits] [PATCH] Perform initialization when building an EDDisassembler

[Gregory Szorc]

LLVMCreateDisasm() calls llvm::InitializeAll* to ensure that all
targets and disassemblers are registered automagically when a
disassembler is created [1].

EDDisassembler doesn't, unfortunately. And, since the LLVMInitialize*
symbols aren't exported as part of the llvm-c API (unlike what the
documentation for Target.t claims [2]), we need to work around this.

This patch makes EDDisassembler's ctor initialize the world so
disassemblers can be created from the C API.

I'm open to suggestions on the best way to fix the C API. One option
is certainly to remove the LLVMInitializeAll* functions and leave that
job to the internal C API implementation.
