[LLVMdev] JIT and garbage collection

If I recall correctly, the garbage collector interface consists mostly of
some fuctions that one calls during execution to notify the collector
about a GC root. There's one othr thing that's needed if you do JIT
compilation: you have to garbage-collect the generated code.  This means
that the collector must be able to find where the pointers are in the
generated code together with metadata.

Is there any support for this?
