llvm dev - Jan 2019 - Building machine functions from outside llvm?

Hey,

I had a request earlier for a means of building machine functions from an
application linked to LLVM. The application currently composes strings
containing assembly and then calls LLVM in order to parse them and emit
object files.

An alternative would be to construct the MachineInstrs using an API like
BuildMI directly. I'd be interested to hear if anyone is doing this already
- essentially using the interfaces I previously considered internal as an
alternative to formatted strings of assembly. Any serious pitfalls here?

Cheers

Jon
