llvm dev - Jun 2008 - [LLVMdev] using dynamic libraries from bytecode?

Is it possible to use dynamic library (*.so *.dll) from bytecode?
If "yes" - how?

dlopen?  That's be one way.  Also, most systems have shared libraries  
in /usr/lib and these routines are meant to be linked against and  
used.  For example, on darwin, there sinf is resolved from a shared  
library, you declare it and call it, as normal.  You should be able to  
use llvm-gcc to see the bytecode of such a use of a routine from a  
dynamic library.

?

Thanks! But... small example (mingw):

$ cat gcd_ui.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gmp.h>

static void check_ui_range (void)
{
  mpz_t  x;
  mpz_init_set_ui (x, 111111L);
  mpz_mul_2exp (x, x, 1L);
  mpz_clear (x);
}

int main() {
  check_ui_range();
  printf("All works!\n");
  return 0;
}

$ llvm-gcc.exe -I/mingw/include gcd_ui.c -L/mingw/lib -lgmp -o gcd_ui.exe

$ ./gcd_ui.exe
All works!

$ llvm-gcc.exe -I/mingw/include gcd_ui.c -L/mingw/lib -lgmp -o
gcd_ui.ll -emit-llvm -S
llvm-gcc.exe: -lgmp: linker input file unused because linking not done


How determine library for `-emit-llvm` option?
Next:

$ cat gcd_ui.ll

How and where I must specify library?
