[llvm-dev] About Stackmap section

[marwayusuf@feng.bu.edu.eg via llvm-dev]

Dear All

I need to read the stackmap section at runtime of the inspected application. I've read the documentation of stackmap and found this paragraph:

"A JIT compiler can easily access this section by providing its own memory manager via the LLVM C API LLVMCreateSimpleMCJITMemoryManager(). When creating the memory manager, the JIT provides a callback: LLVMMemoryManagerAllocateDataSectionCallback(). When LLVM creates this section, it invokes the callback and passes the section name. The JIT can record the in-memory address of the section at this time and later parse it to recover the stack map data.

On Darwin, the stack map section name is "__llvm_stackmaps". The segment name is "__LLVM_STACKMAPS"."

However I can't figure how to make LLVMCreateSimpleMCJITMemoryManager or LLVMMemoryManagerAllocateDataSectionCallback or make use of them. And I could not find examples for their useage. Any help is appreciated.
