llvm dev - Apr 2017 - [FFI] [OrcJIT] Status update on C FFI for OrcJIT?

I looked around for the status of OrcJIT FFI support. The last e-mail
thread I could find was this one: Link
<http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-February/081679.html>
Raw: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2015-February/081679.html

Is OrcJIT now considered stable enough that there can be "official"
exposed
C APIs?

If not, what's the standard approach if I want to use Orc from a language
that only supports C for an FFI? (Rust and Haskell are languages that I am
interested in)

Thanks,
Siddharth

Hi Siddharth,

There are C APIs for Orc, but there is no guarantee that they are stable.
In fact I expect them to change in the short to medium term due to upcoming
changes in the C++ APIs. In the long term I expect they will settle down
the same way ExecutionEngine's API did, but we're not there yet.

what's the standard approach if I want to use Orc from a language that

The ORC C APIs are still your best option, just be aware that there may be
some churn.

Cheers,
Lang.
