Welcome to Chapter 4 of the “Building an ORC-based JIT in LLVM” tutorial. This chapter introduces the Compile Callbacks and Indirect Stubs APIs and shows how they can be used to replace the CompileOnDemand layer from Chapter 3 with a custom lazy-JITing scheme that JITs directly from Kaleidoscope ASTs.
To be done:
(1) Describe the drawbacks of JITing from IR (have to compile to IR first, which reduces the benefits of laziness).
(2) Describe CompileCallbackManagers and IndirectStubManagers in detail.
(3) Run through the implementation of addFunctionAST.
Here is the complete code listing for our running example that JITs lazily from Kaleidoscope ASTS. To build this example, use:
# Compile
clang++ -g toy.cpp `llvm-config --cxxflags --ldflags --system-libs --libs core orc native` -O3 -o toy
# Run
./toy
