[LLVMdev] Re ducing LLVM's memory usage

[Vitaly C.]

Hi,

I am working on a binary translator and use LLVM for this.
In the process, I generate millions of constants (immediate values in the
source binary code).
The problem is that these constants seem to be not cleaned when I delete the
LLVM code (using Function::deleteBody() ) and as a result the memory usage
keeps growing. I browsed the forum and found that constants "live forever"
by design.

Is there are simple way of cleaning the used memory without destroying
everything (unloading the ExecutionEngine, freeing the module, calling
llvm_shutdown) ? Ideally I would like something which brings everything to
the state just after I created the JIT engine for the first time.

Thanks,
Vitaly C.
