[llvm-dev] MCJIT -- Poor run-time performance for Fibonacci example in LLVM 3.8.1

[Lang Hames via llvm-dev]

Hi Riyaz, Renato,

Attempting to run Fibonacci from LLVM 3.8.1 on Darwin I get:

./fib381: Failed to construct ExecutionEngine: Interpreter has not been
linked in.

This suggests that the reason for the slowdown isn't in the JIT itself.
Instead, when we removed the old JIT we probably didn't update the
Fibonacci example to request a JIT at all, so now it's falling back to the
interpreter. I'm just digging in to confirm this now, and will update the
example code as needed to fix this.

Cheers,
Lang.
