[llvm-dev] A question with using ORC RPC for remote JIT-ing.

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

There is remote JITing support (
https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/BuildingAJIT5.html )- though it mostly/only
supports the "from the JITing process, push code to the remote/executing
process" - the first piece of your situation, "from the executing process,
make a remote request to JIT some code" isn't implemented as far as I know,
but you could use the same RPC primitives that LLVM/ORC provides to do that.
