[LLVMdev] JIT memory manager: NeedsExactSize() ?

[Reid Kleckner]

Oh god, rip it out.  IIRC it's just a complete parallel
reimplementation of bunch of instruction encoding stuff just to
compute the code size.

This is particularly bad for X86, because the "exact size" is not exact, and looks completely wrong in a lot of cases.  Is anyone using this?  Can I rip it out?  This stuff should go away with the mc'ization of the JIT in the long term.
