[LLVMdev] Set up ExecutionEngine according to actual machine capabilities

[Mueller-Roemer, Johannes Sebastian]

I am currently setting up my Module with

module->setTargetTriple(llvm::sys::getProcessTriple()
#ifdef _WIN32
                               + "-elf"
#endif
);

And my ExecutionEngine with

llvm::EngineBuilder(std::move(module))
                                               .setErrorStr(&err)
                                               .setMCPU(llvm::sys::getHostCPUName())
                                               .create()

This works fine on most machines, however on some virtualized machines this fails because the host CPU name implies AVX, however AVX is in fact disabled, leading to an illegal instruction when running JIT-compiled functions.

Is there a better way to set up the executionengine so that such failure do not occur (but all available features are used)?
