Mesa (http://www.mesa3d.org/) uses LLVM to compile shaders. These are typically small bits of code (~10KB) and one application can use many of them. Mesa creates an ExecutionEngine with a default JIT memory manager for each shader it compiles, and keeps the engine around as long as the shader code is needed. This results in memory waste of ~1MB for each shader. Half the overhead is in the

Hi Frank, The project really needs to be looking to move away from the old JIT and to MCJIT. LLVM is actively working to kill the old JIT. It’s already unmaintained. MCJIT is the way forward. Can you elaborate on what’s blocking its adoption for Mesa? -Jim On Oct 1, 2013, at 10:44 AM, Frank Henigman <fjhenigman at google.com> wrote: > Mesa (http://www.mesa3d.org/) uses LLVM to compile

I'll try to find out, or get someone to explain, why Mesa selects MCJIT with LLVM 3.1 only and JIT for other LLVM versions. I'm not keen to code a fourth attempt (1: copy JIT code, 2: delegating manger, 3: derive from DefaultJITMemoryManager, 4: copy MCJIT code) but I'll try copying code with MCJIT. Is that the usual route for people who want to delete all LLVM engines, etc. while
