[LLVMdev] getGlobalContext()

[Junjie Gu]

Suppose I have a multi-threaded application that needs to compile many
independant bitcodes. All threads do compilation concurrently.
For each thread,  it creates its own context like the following:
   LLVMContext  *mycontext = new LLVMContext();

But it seems there are still places that explicitly refer to the
global context (like in Module.cpp). I wonder wether this is indended
or
has yet to be fixed ?

Thanks

Module.cpp

GlobalVariable *ilist_traits<GlobalVariable>::createSentinel() {
  GlobalVariable *Ret = new GlobalVariable(Type::getInt32Ty(getGlobalContext()),
                                           false, GlobalValue::ExternalLinkage);
  // This should not be garbage monitored.
  LeakDetector::removeGarbageObject(Ret);
  return Ret;
}
GlobalAlias *ilist_traits<GlobalAlias>::createSentinel() {
  GlobalAlias *Ret = new GlobalAlias(Type::getInt32Ty(getGlobalContext()),
                                     GlobalValue::ExternalLinkage);
  // This should not be garbage monitored.
  LeakDetector::removeGarbageObject(Ret);
  return Ret;
}
