llvm dev - Dec 2018 - Setting a function in a module to extern

Hello again,

as mentioned in a different mail, I'm a beginner with the LLVM and writing a
JIT-Client under Windows.

In my llvm::Module I have a certain function - now I want to delete this
function, but keep all the calls and references to it. I kind of want to set the
function to an external function.
Is this possible?

Kind greetings
Björn

I think you just need to llvm::Function::Create(Type, Linkage, Name, 
Module) it and not add any basic blocks to it.
