llvm dev - Aug 2004 - [LLVMdev] is this code really JITed and/or optimized? ..

(thanks for quick reply)

hm, here is the part of my code starting LLVM function:

///////////////////////////
  ExistingModuleProvider* MP = new ExistingModuleProvider(M);
  ExecutionEngine* EE = ExecutionEngine::create( MP, true );

  // Call the `foo' function with no arguments:
  std::vector<GenericValue> noargs;
  GenericValue gv = EE->runFunction(FooF, noargs);
///////////////////////////

for LLVM developers no debuging should be needed to make
quick and right diagnosis :)

As Reid pointed out, changing true to false will get it to work.

Sure, but part of our goal is to get you to learn more about how stuff
works too :)

hm, well, "false" causes Segmentation fault.

LOL, i deleted few lines from my previous mail before send i.r.t. this your 
idea, which is well-known to me :)

Actually my LLVM is compiled with no debug info. Newly compiled LLVM
with debug support will be after ~45min :-/

as I've posted already, I got Segmentation Fault.
Now, i have re-compiled LLVM with debug support.

The evaluation is broken at line 78 in file:
lib/ExecutionEngine/JIT/JIT.cpp

The assertion 

    assert(ArgValues.size() == 1);

fails. But what's wrong? My function has type

int FooF(void);

so ArgValues should have size 0, right?

BTW, the code of runFunction is quite unclear, indeed,
for some reason cases ArgValues==3 and ArgValues==1
are specially considered... I looked in JIT.h for
more description on interface -- quite ascetic info, 
nothing interesting.

Anyway, few lines of documentation could make life easier
for other guys too.

Thanks in advance,
