[llvm-dev] How to set Target/Triple of ExecutionEngine

[Lang Hames via llvm-dev]

Hi edaqa,

You might need to set your TargetOptions before calling selectTarget. E.g.

builder.setTargetOptions(Opts).selectTarget(...);

Or you could just let EngineBuilder call selectTarget for you (which is
what the no-argument version of EngineBuilder::create does):

llvm::ExecutionEngine * ee = builder.
        setErrorStr( &errStr ).
        setEngineKind( llvm::EngineKind::JIT ).
        setTargetOptions( topts ).
        setMArch(arch).
        setMAttrs(mattrs).
        create();

If those are still failing, it would be interesting to get the data layout
string that you are getting from the ExecutionEngine instance and compare
it to what you are expecting.

Cheers,
Lang.
