[pypy-dev] Patchpoints in LLVM

Hi, just wanted to link this discussion http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-October/066573.html and this piece of docs http://llvm.org/docs/StackMaps.html. As far as I understand, the lack of patchpoints (i.e. a way to patch dynamically generated code) was the major burden on the way to use LLVM for code generation for PyPy. The functionality was implemented as a part of FTL, LLVM-based JavaScript compiler (http://blog.llvm.org/2014/07/ftl-webkits-llvm-based-jit.html) Regards, Dimitri.
