[FEATURE REQUEST] ability to send the Module struct to the LLVM lib #20

Open einsJannis opened 2 years ago

As pointed out in the README: this library is currently unable to send the Rust-y and safe Module struct back to the LLVM library, and thus can't be used for LLVM IR generation nor for compilation of LLVM IR.

I think this library would benefit from the ability to send the module struct back to the LLVM library.

I agree that this would be a great feature. But it's a very heavy lift and I currently have no plans to take that on, sorry. If you're interested in helping develop this, feel free to make a PR, maybe starting with a very simple case (only handling some small subset of LLVM features or something).
