[LLVMdev] Exception handling question

[Garrison Venn]

Hi James,

Just wanted to update you. As you implied the problem here is that
the personality function has to be jitted before the code that contains
the corresponding llvm.eh.selector intrinsic instruction is jitted. I verified
this by creating a generated version of the personality function which unless
I jitted first, gave me the same error when running the code. Since you are using
tools versus the API, and therefore do not have direct control of JIT order, I 
was wondering if there is not another way to create this same outcome without
having to resort to calling the personality function directly before referencing
it in the llvm.eh.selector intrinsic (build order?). Anyway I know from your
posts that you are way beyond this. Have you already solved this issue
without a preliminary call?
