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 combines all previous versions, including the
12 old JIT-based implementation, into a single file for easy comparison with
13 command line options to select between the various possibilities.

15 This directory contain a Makefile that allow the code to be built in a
16 standalone manner, independent of the larger LLVM build infrastructure. To build
17 the program you will need to have 'clang++' and 'llvm-config' in your path. If
18 you attempt to build using the LLVM 3.3 release, some minor modifications will
19 be required.

21 This directory also contains a Python script that may be used to generate random
22 input for the program and test scripts to capture data for rough performance
23 comparisons. Another Python script will split generated input files into
24 definitions and function calls for the purpose of testing the IR input and
25 caching facilities.
