[llvm-dev] Usage of LLJIT & Orc v2 by new end-user

[Stefan Gränitz via llvm-dev]

Hi Daniel, in case you are still curious, I finished the update of my
JitFromScratch example project (mostly):
https://github.com/weliveindetail/JitFromScratch

Much of it is based on LLJIT and you can find a few examples for event
handling, like object emitted/loaded.

Hope it helps
Stefan
