[LLVMdev] Calling dispatch_async() within call to ExecutionEngine::runFunction()

[David Chisnall]

I have used libdispatch (on FreeBSD) from JIT'd code without any issues, so I think your bug is elsewhere.

The runFunction() call returns as expected, but the block passed to dispatch_async() never gets called. The async block is supposed to call a function pointer callback that was passed in to decode().
