[LLVMdev] ExecutionEngine and multithreading

[brdavs]

Hi,

I have a question regarding 
ExecutionEngine on multicore machines.

Say I have n different Function objects 
that I want to execute simultaneously on a multicore 
machine. So, one would want to create n different
instances of ExecutionEngine and run each function.
But, if I understand correctly, there can only be one
instance of ExecutionEngine, so there would have to be
a locking mechanism or execute everything
sequentially.

I have the following questions:
1. What's the best way to run many different functions
in multiple threads using a single ExecutionEngine?
2. What's the reason for having only a single engine?
3. Are there any plans for the future that might
allow multiple instances of ExecutionEngine?
