llvm dev - Dec 2011 - [LLVMdev] Position Dependent Loading in LLVM Modules

Hello All,
Does LLVM even support position dependent loading in bitcode files?
For example, how would I go about loading a module at a specific
address without a custom linker?

Thanks

Hi Am,

I think you're conflating two issues here - LLVM bitcode is not loadable or
runnable, at all.

It needs to be generated into native code before it can be run or loaded -
of course if you use the -fPIC option the resulting output object will be
relocatable - you would then use your native linker (GNU LD or Gold) in the
same way as normal.

You can't load bitcode files by themselves.

Cheers,

James
