llvm dev - Jul 2015 - [LLVMdev] llvm jit acting at runtime, like libgccjit ?

Hello,

i mainly code in c/c++ on linux.

I would like to know if I can generate code at runtime using llvm, like
libgccjit -> https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/


My needs are : create functions, conditions, loops at runtime. libgccjit does
the job pretty well but I would like to test llvm too (licence issue).

Is it possible ?
Is there a resource that helps in that regard ? Kaleidoscope doesn't seems
to be what I expect.


Thanks
Bye

Hi,

Yes, LLVM can do this and has been able to long before libgccjit.
Kaleidoscope gives an introduction - what exactly is it about Kaleidoscope
that differs from your expectations?

Cheers,

James

<div>Thanks

differ in the sense that I cannot really understand how to create, say, a loop.
It all looks like very complicated (<a
