Clients should be able to build the ORC runtime with or without exceptions/RTTI, and this choice should be able to be made independently of the corresponding settings for LLVM (e.g. it should be fine to build LLVM with exceptions/RTTI disabled, and orc-rt with them enabled). The orc-rt-c/config.h header will provide C defines that can be used by both the ORC runtime and API clients to determine the value of the options. Future patches should build on this work to provide APIs that enable some interoperability between the ORC runtime's error return mechanism (Error/Expected) and C++ exceptions.
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.
