[llvm-dev] ORC JIT Weekly #18 -- TargetProcessControl updates for library loading / searching.

[Stefan Gränitz via llvm-dev]

Hi Lang

Thanks for the update! Is there a conceptual difference between the old:
DynamicLibrarySearchGenerator::GetForCurrentProcess(<SystemManglingPrefix>)

and the newly added TCP-based one (when applied to the own process):
TPCDynamicLibrarySearchGenerator::GetForTargetProcess(SelfTargetProcessControl::Create())

Or can we just assume it the preferred, more generalized approach for
constructing definition generators from now on?

Sounds great!

Cheers
Stefan
