The core infrastructure is all in place: ExecutionSession, JITDylibs, MaterializationUnit/MaterializationResponsibility, and Layers. In LLVM 9 I expect the symbol resolution process to receive some further tweaks, and I want to add support for removing code from the JIT (which ORCv2 does not support yet). The big work in LLVM 9 at the moment is the new JIT linker (https://reviews.llvm.org/D58704), but this will be an implementation detail to most clients.

Thank you. Is it safe to use the v8 JIT api or would you suggest
waiting unto v9?
