[llvm-dev] ExecutionEngine::runFunction and libffi

[Mueller-Roemer, Johannes Sebastian via llvm-dev]

I noticed that runFunction (for MCJIT) is very limited. At the same time the interpreter already has a fairly generic way of calling functions from a pointer and a Function * (for description) using libffi. Would it make sense to pull that functionality out into a small support library and using it in MCJIT? As is runFunction isn't particularly usable.
