ExecutorAddr was introduced in b8e5f918166 as an eventual replacement for
JITTargetAddress. ExecutorSymbolDef is introduced in this patch as a
replacement for JITEvaluatedSymbol: ExecutorSymbolDef is an (ExecutorAddr,
JITSymbolFlags) pair, where JITEvaluatedSymbol was a (JITTargetAddress,
JITSymbolFlags) pair.
A number of APIs had already migrated from JITTargetAddress to ExecutorAddr,
but many of ORC's internals were still using the older type. This patch aims
to address that.
Some public APIs are affected as well. If you need to migrate your APIs you can
use the following operations:
* ExecutorAddr::toPtr replaces jitTargetAddressToPointer and
jitTargetAddressToFunction.
* ExecutorAddr::fromPtr replace pointerToJITTargetAddress.
* ExecutorAddr(JITTargetAddress) creates an ExecutorAddr value from a
JITTargetAddress.
* ExecutorAddr::getValue() creates a JITTargetAddress value from an
ExecutorAddr.
JITTargetAddress and JITEvaluatedSymbol will remain in JITSymbol.h for now, but
the aim will be to eventually deprecate and remove these types (probably when
MCJIT and RuntimeDyld are deprecated).
This patch replaces RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo with JITSymbol: A symbol class
that is capable of lazy materialization (i.e. the symbol definition needn't be
emitted until the address is requested). This can be used to support common
and weak symbols in the JIT (though this is not implemented in this patch).
For consistency, RuntimeDyld::SymbolResolver is renamed to JITSymbolResolver.
For space efficiency a new class, JITEvaluatedSymbol, is introduced that
behaves like the old RuntimeDyld::SymbolInfo - i.e. it is just a pair of an
address and symbol flags. Instances of JITEvaluatedSymbol can be used in
symbol-tables to avoid paying the space cost of the materializer.
