Hello all,
The Kaleidoscope tutorial shows how to get a void pointer to the a built
function, cast it to the appropriate type, and then call it.
There isn’t a tutorial using the LLVM C API that I’ve seen, so I’ve been working
with bits and pieces found online, and of course the header files. I haven’t
been able to find an equivalent to getPointerToFunction as yet, however. The JIT
example I found[1] is using LLVMRunFunction, with requisite boxing of arguments
and unboxing of return value.
Is this the recommended route? Is the C API just lacking a getPointerToFunction
equivalent? If so, I imagine it will be fairly straightforward to add one, which
I’ll be happy to do.
Thanks very much,
Rob
