A main motivator though is language/library/platform integration on the Mac (Cocoa, Objective-C, autozone). I'm not too interested in a JIT at this point, but rather native code generation. So far I can see a MachOWriter (with an "AddMachOWriter" in FileWriters.h...

Thanks John. I had passed over ExecutionEngine as it looked like it offered a JIT. Maybe there's more to it than meets the (hasty) eye though. I'm interested in getting a native image. Ultimately, I'd like to do things like emitting Objective-C IMPs and building Objective-C classes around them. However, I'm going one step at a time (there's probably much to learn

I'm a total LLVM n00b, and have just started to work through some of the tutorials with the intention of gathering a clear picture of what LLVM does and doesn't do for a possible project. I'm on the Mac, and would like to have my code dynamically create and load new functions into a process. I believe I can do this, but I'm not sure yet how 'direct' things will be
