llvm dev - Apr 2009 - [LLVMdev] lli and runtime error

Hello Pushkar,
>I get the error Could not resolve external global address: __dso_handle
Based on what I've read on the mailing list in the past, that's because
the interpreter doesn't support non-bitcode external addresses such as the
function calls used to do input and output of data.  As such the interpreter is
quite useless in its current state.

If you use JIT compilation it will work because the JIT compiler does support
external references such as printf or whatever other command you're trying
to use to access the operating system you are running on.

I wish I had better news for you.

Thanks a lot Samuel. I wanted to test the performance of the  
Interpreter by running some BLAS routines.
