PPC64 has a similar problem. It wants to do codegen in PIC mode, but it doesn't want the JIT to make dyld stubs. As such, it does 'JIT PIC' mode, which is like PIC but doesn't do the extra load to go through dyld stubs. An alternative approach would be to have the JIT synthesize dyld stubs, but that takes work to implement and yields slower programs. -Chris _______________________________________________ llvm-commits mailing list llvm-commits@cs.uiuc.edu http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits
