This type has been moved up into the llvm::orc::shared namespace.
This type was originally put in the detail:: namespace on the assumption that
few (if any) LLVM source files would need to use it. In practice it has been
needed in many places, and will continue to be needed until/unless
OrcTargetProcess is fully merged into the ORC runtime.
This re-applies e32b1eee6aab52e2b7b75ee15e506b3e7dd30e68, which was reverted in
20675d8f7dab293172266fdde426c2173b5b3997 due to broken unit tests. This patch
includes fixes for the tests.
Removing the 'ess' suffix improves the ergonomics without sacrificing clarity.
Since this class is likely to be used more frequently in the future it's worth
some short term pain to fix this now.
Finalization and deallocation actions are a key part of the upcoming
JITLinkMemoryManager redesign: They generalize the existing finalization and
deallocate concepts (basically "copy-and-mprotect", and "munmap") to include
support for arbitrary registration and deregistration of parts of JIT linked
code. This allows us to register and deregister eh-frames, TLV sections,
language metadata, etc. using regular memory management calls with no additional
IPC/RPC overhead, which should both improve JIT performance and simplify
interactions between ORC and the ORC runtime.
The SimpleExecutorMemoryManager class provides executor-side support for memory
management operations, including finalization and deallocation actions.
This support is being added in advance of the rest of the memory manager
redesign as it will simplify the introduction of an EPC based
RuntimeDyld::MemoryManager (since eh-frame registration/deregistration will be
expressible as actions). The new RuntimeDyld::MemoryManager will in turn allow
us to remove older remote allocators that are blocking the rest of the memory
manager changes.
