Restore dynamic-compile (JIT) functionality with LLVM 12+ #3747

Open kinke opened 3 years ago

By completing https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/3184, the transition to the ORCv2 API.

Hi, this also affects Ubuntu which - for now - can revert to build with llvm-11, but one can't predict when Distributions start to remove the older llvm toolchains.

Therefore I wanted to kindly ask if there is any progress here as the former #3184 seems to have stalled for the last two years.

Sorry, I don't have time to support this now. This JIT work was done as experiment and for my personal projects (none of them developed enough to be useful). I am not aware if anyone else besides me actually uses it. Best way forward would be probably to disable JIT support via cmake option.

Best way forward would be probably to disable JIT support via cmake option.

[That's the status quo, disabled by default for LLVM 12+.]

Thank you for your guidance on this topic @Hardcode84 ! I'll - for now - build it in Ubuntu with llvm-11 to overcome the issue temporarily but suggest to Debian that disabling it seems to be the way forward as it was an experimental personal project. Once Debian agrees we (Debian+Ubuntu+other Derivatives) can go that path together then (including potential changes to dependencies).
