`llvm::Error`s containing errors must be explicitly handled or an assert will be raised. With this change, `ol_impl_result_t` can accept and consume an `llvm::Error` for errors raised by PluginInterface that have multiple causes and other places now call `llvm::consumeError`. Note that there is currently no facility for PluginInterface to communicate exact error codes, but the constructor is designed in such a way that it can be easily added later. This MR is to convert a crash into an error code. A new test was added, however due to the aforementioned issue with error codes, it does not pass and instead is marked as a skip.
The LLVM/Offload Subproject
The Offload subproject aims at providing tooling, runtimes, and APIs that allow users to execute code on accelerators or other "co-processors" that may or may not match the architecture of their "host". In the long run, all kinds of targets are in scope of this effort, including but not limited to: CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, AI/ML accelerators, distributed resources, etc.
For OpenMP offload users, the project is ready and fully usable. The final API design is still under development. More content will show up here and on our webpage soon. In the meantime, people are encouraged to participate in our meetings (see below) and check our development board as well as the discussions on Discourse.
