[LLVMdev] LLVM multithreading

[Jasmin Jahic]

Hi Bruce,

thank you for your answer.

What I want to know is following: Imagine that I create threads in some
way. I want threads to execute the same BC, while using the same memory
space. I know that LLVM IR has a nice structure: Context - Module -
Execution engine. Is there a way to run several instances of LLVM (using
threads for example) with the same memory space?
