[LLVMdev] JIT stubs for functions with external linkage

[Morten Ofstad]

Hi,

Before I go ahead and remove the generation of stubs for external 
functions, is there any good reason why they get generated? I can 
understand that the JIT wants to make stubs for the functions it 
compiles itself - it enables selective recompilation and replacement - 
but functions which are defined in a library (or in my case by the 
application using the JIT) can't be changed anyway. For me the extra jmp 
instruction for each call is significant, so I want to remove it...
