Dynamically load the JIT and LLVM #140

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I think it would be neat if we could gather up all of our JIT support code
and separate it from the Python core, so that:

1. The JIT can be made optional without doing a rebuild.  If people want to
redistribute Python, they can just delete the JIT and LLVM .so's or .dll's
and they get a working, lightweight, ~2-4 MB interpreter.

2. We can load it lazily, so that the memory penalty for short-lived
scripts is non-existent.  This depends on only gathering feedback after
code objects have been determined to be warm, ie issue139.

Whoops, I couldn't find MvL's original bug report so I wrote my own.  :)
