[LLVMdev] Static linking of execution engine

[Kaylor, Andrew]

Yeah, this is a problem with the static constructor getting optimized out.  Including "JIT.h" is supposed to fix that.

Is it possible that the file where you are including "JIT.h" doesn't have any required code in it?

Subject: [LLVMdev] Static linking of execution engine

Hi,

I'm on Linux and trying to link an application that makes use of LLVM's JIT execution engine statically.

Setup:
(1) LLVM libs are compiled as static libraries.
(2) Called InitializeNativeTarget().
(3) Included llvm/ExecutionEngine/JIT.h.

It works if I build and link regularly.

However, if I add -static when linking, the execution engine fails to initialize. Does anyone know why? LLVM libs are already archives. Is that supported at all?

Thanks & ciao,
Mario
