[LLVMdev] Can Interpreter handle clone() call (with CLONE_VM flag)?
Dear all, May I know whether Interpreter in llvm-2.6 can handle clone() call (with CLONE_VM flag)? Another small question is: since JIT only invokes the main() function in a program once, and does not have control to the execution while main() is running, what is the benefit of using JIT? -- Regards, Heming Cui -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
