llvm dev - Sep 2019 - "Freeing" functions generated with SimpleORC for JIT use-case

Hi all,
I am using LLVM for JIT use-case and compile functions on the fly. I want
to "free" the modules after some time and reclaim any memory
associated
with it. I am using the SimpleORC API
<https://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/BuildingAJIT1.html> now.
Is there an API to "free" all the memory associated with the module? I
use
one "compiler" instance (think similar to KaleidoscopeJIT class with
its
ExecutionSession, CompileLayer etc.) in my process.

Is there an API to reset all memory used? Does deleting the
"KaleidoscopeJIT" class ensure all memory is reclaimed? In that case i
can
periodically re-create that class to achieve what i want.

Thanks!

Rajesh S R

Thanks David! If SimpleORC doesn't yet support it, i can switch to an older
API if that support is there. Any pointers to it?

AFAIK the memory associated with JIT compiled code is owned by the
ExecutionSession from which you obtained the JITEvaluatedSymbol and is initially
allocated by the ObjectLayer using a SectionMemoryManager.

Beyond running the destructor for either the ExecutionSession or ObjectLayer, I
have not seen a way to do this. Perhaps it's possible by implementing your
own
SectionMemoryManager-like class?

Thanks Kavon! What would be useful is to have a Handle interface as shown
here: https://releases.llvm.org/6.0.0/docs/tutorial/BuildingAJIT1.html
Should i just use this API for now?
