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. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@220957 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
