[llvm-dev] Inlining with the ORC JIT

[Gaetano Checinski via llvm-dev]

As far as i know, optimizations can only be done on a module level.
If you compile and pass modules to the object-linking-layer, you won't be
able to perform any optimizations.
Thus, what you could do is:
- merge the generated modules into a big monolithic module
- repeatedly perform optimization passes eg. inlining
- copy new functions into a new module ( so you don't re-compile and
re-link the same functions)
- compile and link new module
