     12 Chapter 4 Introduction
     13 ======================
     14 
     15 Welcome to Chapter 4 of the "Building an ORC-based JIT in LLVM" tutorial. This
     16 chapter introduces the Compile Callbacks and Indirect Stubs APIs and shows how
     17 they can be used to replace the CompileOnDemand layer from
     18 `Chapter 3 <BuildingAJIT3.html>`_ with a custom lazy-JITing scheme that JITs
     19 directly from Kaleidoscope ASTs.
     20 
     21 **To be done:**
     22 
     23 **(1) Describe the drawbacks of JITing from IR (have to compile to IR first,
     24 which reduces the benefits of laziness).**
     25 
     26 **(2) Describe CompileCallbackManagers and IndirectStubManagers in detail.**
     27 
     28 **(3) Run through the implementation of addFunctionAST.**

     30 Full Code Listing
     31 =================
     32 
     33 Here is the complete code listing for our running example that JITs lazily from
     34 Kaleidoscope ASTS. To build this example, use:
     35 
     36 .. code-block:: bash
     37 
     38     # Compile
     39     clang++ -g toy.cpp `llvm-config --cxxflags --ldflags --system-libs --libs core orcjit native` -O3 -o toy
     40     # Run
     41     ./toy
     42 
     43 Here is the code:
     44 
     45 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/Kaleidoscope/BuildingAJIT/Chapter4/KaleidoscopeJIT.h
     46    :language: c++
