The name "Service" better reflects the general purpose of this class: It
provides *something* (often resource management) to the Session, is
owned by the Session, and receives notifications from the Session when
the controller detaches / is detached, and when the Session is shut
down.
An example of a non-resource-managing Service (to be added in an
upcoming patch) is a detach / shutdown notification service: Clients can
add this service to register arbitrary callbacks to be run on detach /
shutdown. The advantage of this over the current Session detach /
shutdown callback system is that clients can control both the order of
the callbacks, and their order relative to notification of other
services.
Includes CMake files and placeholder header, library, test tool, regression
test and unit test.
The aim for this project is to create a replacement for the existing ORC
Runtime that currently resides in `llvm-project/compiler-rt/lib/orc`. The new
project will provide a superset of the original features, and the old runtime
will be removed once the new runtime is sufficiently developed.
