//===-- llvm/ModuleProvider.h - Interface for module providers --*- C++ -*-===//
//
// This file provides an abstract interface for loading a module from some
// place.  This interface allows incremental or random access loading of
// functions from the file.  This is useful for applications like JIT compilers
// or interprocedural optimizers that do not need the entire program in memory
// at the same time.
