Hi Danil,

I'm not sure what additional information you're looking for. The logic you're wanting to add belongs in the memory manager of the client application, not the MCJIT. For example, in the case of lli, it should be part of the TrivialMemoryManager there.

Note that the old JIT did this differently, as it assumed it wasn't ever going to deal with a remote target. It could, and did, make lots of assumptions about that. As such, be wary of using its code paths as a guide for how the MCJIT should work.

-Jim

It loads hosted library, it executes code on the host machine and etc. JIT and MCJIT was hidden from appication by EngineBuilder, their memory managers hidden too. The JIT does it for own code, I believe the MCJIT should do it too.

For example, it belongs in the TrivialMemoryManager in llvm-rtdyld.cpp. That includes keeping the list of allocations and sections. Consider a remote client. The MemoryBlock map you're creating here will refer to the local copy, not the memory that's actually on the target where it'll be executed. The code that knows how to map between the two is the client's memory manager, so that's where this logic belongs as well.
