5 The files in this directory are meant to accompany the first in a series of
6 three blog posts that describe the process of porting the Kaleidoscope tutorial
7 to use the MCJIT execution engine instead of the older JIT engine.

9 When the blog post is ready this file will be updated with a link to the post.

11 The source code in this directory demonstrates the second version of the
12 program, now modified to implement a sort of 'lazy' compilation.
13
14 The toy-jit.cpp file contains a version of the original JIT-based source code
15 that has been modified to disable most stderr output for timing purposes.
16
17 This directory contain a Makefile that allow the code to be built in a
18 standalone manner, independent of the larger LLVM build infrastructure. To build
19 the program you will need to have 'clang++' and 'llvm-config' in your path. If
20 you attempt to build using the LLVM 3.3 release, some minor modifications will
21 be required.
22
23 This directory also contains a Python script that may be used to generate random
24 input for the program and test scripts to capture data for rough performance
25 comparisons.
