This PR changes the way we set the shlib directory helper. Instead of setting it while initializing the Host plugin, we register it when initializing the Python plugin. The motivation is that the current approach is incompatible with the dynamically linked script interpreters, as they will not have been loaded at the time the Host plugin is initialized. The downside of the new approach is that we set the helper after having initialized the Host plugin, which theoretically introduces a small window where someone could query the helper before it has been set. Fortunately the window is pretty small and limited to when we're initializing plugins, but it's less "pure" than what we had previously. That said, I think it balances out with removing the plugin include.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
