Joe,
LLVM's MCJIT? Did you mean the REPL mode?
I'm not ready to ask a question or understand the answer about them. Maybe
it takes some time for me to handle them.
Currently, I want to concentrate on the immediate mode, dynamic/static
linking on Windows (MSVC).
By the way, in Cygwin (although it uses similar ABI and the COFF format),
immediate mode and dynamic linking worked without the dll import/export
consideration, it was 'ld''s magic. The immediate mode in Cygwin does not
work if dllimport is applied. (same to Windows(MSVC) )
I think we may consider for only MSVC, if the REPL in Cygwin works without
dllimport consideration.
