Since JIT->MCJIT migration, most of the ExecutionEngine interface
became deprecated and/or broken. This especially affected the OCaml
bindings, as runFunction is no longer available, and unlike in C,
it is not possible to coerce a pointer to a function and call it
in OCaml.
In practice, LLVM 3.5 shipped completely unusable
Llvm_executionengine.
The GenericValue interface and runFunction were essentially
a poor man's FFI. As such, this interface was removed and instead
a dependency on ctypes >=0.3 added, which handled platform-specific
aspects of accessing data and calling functions.
The new interface does not expose JIT (which is a shim around MCJIT),
as well as the interpreter (which can't handle a lot of valid IR).
Llvm_executionengine.add_global_mapping is currently unusable
due to PR20656.

This commit updates the OCaml bindings and tests to use ocamlfind.
The bindings are migrated in order to use ctypes, which are now
required for MCJIT-backed Llvm_executionengine.
The tests are migrated in order to use OUnit and to verify that
the distributed META.llvm allows to build working executables.
Every OCaml toolchain invocation is now chained through ocamlfind,
which (in theory) allows to cross-compile the OCaml bindings.
The configure script now checks for ctypes (>= 0.2.3) and
OUnit (>= 2). The code depending on these libraries will be added
later. The configure script does not check the package versions
in order to keep changes less invasive.
Additionally, OCaml bindings will now be automatically enabled
if ocamlfind is detected on the system, rather than ocamlc, as it
was before.

Pretend they do not exist using exists_if. This is better than
the current situation, which is the error:
Error: The external function `llvm_global_succ' is not available

In practice this means:
* Always using -g flag.
* Embedding -cclib -lstdc++ into the corresponding cma/cmxa file.
This also moves -lstdc++ in a single place.
* Using caml_named_value instead of a homegrown mechanism.

First, return true on success, as it is the OCaml convention.
Second, also initialize the native assembly printer, which is,
despite the name, required for MCJIT operation.
Since this function did not initialize the assembly printer earlier
and no function to initialize native assembly printer was available
elsewhere, it is safe to break its interface: it means that it
simply could not be used successfully before.

This tool lets us build LLVM components within the tree by setting up a
$GOPATH that resembles a tree fetched in the normal way with "go get".
It is intended that components such as the Go frontend will be built in-tree
using this tool.

While this commit technically breaks API, no code should have supplied
the integer IDs directly, and thus no code should break.

The returnvalue was handled as c_char_p which ment that ctypes
handled it as a NUL-terminated string making it cut the contents
at first NUL (or even worse - overrunning the buffer if it doesn't
contain a NUL).

We normally don't drop functions from the C API's, but in this case I think we
can:
* The old implementation of getFileOffset was fairly broken
* The introduction of LLVMGetSymbolFileOffset was itself a C api breaking
change as it removed LLVMGetSymbolOffset.
* It is an incredibly specialized use case. The only reason MCJIT needs it is
because of its odd position of being a dynamic linker of .o files.

This commit embeds a set of linker flags with hardcoded paths to
the LLVM shared library on --enable-shared builds into .cmxa files
and stub dynamic libraries. This solution closely follows existing
rules for rpath in the LLVM tools, which had to be modified because
of differences in toolchain.
Without this patch, OCaml tests as well as opam bindings broke,
as neither of those updates LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
the $prefix/lib directory.

Check should be for pointer being NULL, not what it points to.
Also adds a test for this case.

As the "LLVMInitializeAll*" functions are not available as symbols in
the shared library they can't be used, and as a workaround a list of
the targets is kept and the individual symbols tried. As soon as the
"All"-functions are changed to proper symbols (as opposed to static
inlines in the headers) this hack will be replace with simple calls
to the corresponding "LLVMInitializeAll*" functions.

This commit brings the module structure, argument order and
primitive names in Llvm_target in order with the rest of the bindings,
in preparation for adding TargetMachine API.
llvm-svn: 194773
This allows to only link in the needed targets, reducing binary
size and more importantly link time.
Note that this is an incomplete implementation: currently,
LLVM does not have the plumbing which would allow to conditionally
link in AsmPrinter, AsmParser and Disassembler for the targets
which support them. This should be improved in the future.

This commit significantly speeds up both bytecode and native

This is a part of a series of patches that have been sitting fallow on a
personal branch that I have been messing with for a bit.
The patches start to flesh out the python llvm-c wrapper to the point where you can:
1. Load Modules from Bitcode/Dump/Print them.
2. Iterate over Functions from those modules/get their names/dump them.
3. Iterate over the BasicBlocks from said function/get the BB's name/dump it.
4. Iterate over the Instructions in said BasicBlocks/get the instructions
name/dump the instruction.
My main interest in developing this was to be able to gather statistics about
LLVM IR using python scripts to speed up statistical profiling of different IR
level transformations (hence the focus on printing/dumping/getting names).
This is a gift from me to the LLVM community = ).
I am going to be committing the patches slowly over the next bit as I have time
to prepare the patches.
The overall organization follows the c-api like the bindings that are already
implemented.

Re-submitting with fix for OCaml dependency problems (removing dependency on SectionMemoryManager when it isn't used).
Patch by Fili Pizlo
llvm-svn: 180720
Before this fix, the LLVM Python bindings on SVN trunk always fail with:
Exception: LLVM shared library not found!
since it's still looking for a library named "LLVM-3.1svn".
Besides updating the LLVM version in the library name,
this patch also changes llvm.get_library() to make it possible to run
the unit tests without installing the LLVM shared library into a
default linker search path.
e.g. after this patch, running the llvm/python unit tests with:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../build/Debug+Asserts/lib nosetests -v bindings/python/llvm/tests/
would work on Linux.

This requires a C++ change to EDDisassembler's ctor to function properly
(the llvm::InitializeAll* functions aren't being called currently and
there is no way to call them from Python).
Code is partially tested and works well enough for initial commit. There
are probably many small bugs.

This contains a semi-functional skeleton for the implementation of the
LLVM bindings for Python.
The API for the Object.h interface is roughly designed but not
implemented. MemoryBufferRef is implemented and actually appears to
work!
The ObjectFile unit test fails with a segmentation fault because the
LLVM library isn't being properly initialized. The build system doesn't
know about this code yet, so no alerts should fire.

OCaml's int is limited to 31 bits on 32-bit architectures, so use Int32

If we call only external functions from a module, then its 'let _' bindings
don't get executed, which means that the exceptions don't get registered for use
in the C code.
This in turn causes llvm_raise to call raise_with_arg() with a NULL pointer and
cause a segmentation fault.
The workaround is to declare all 'external' functions as 'val' in these .mli
files.
Also added a separate testcase (the testcase must call only external functions
for the bug to occur).
