//
//  This small program provides an example of how to quickly build a small
//  module with two functions and execute it with the JIT.
//
// Goal:
//  The goal of this snippet is to create in the memory
//  the LLVM module consisting of two functions as follow:
//
// int add1(int x) {
//   return x+1;
// }
//
// int foo() {
//   return add1(10);
// }
//
// then compile the module via JIT, then execute the `foo'
// function and return result to a driver, i.e. to a "host program".
//
// Some remarks and questions:
//
// - could we invoke some code using noname functions too?
//   e.g. evaluate "foo()+foo()" without fears to introduce
//   conflict of temporary function name with some real
//   existing function name?
//

  Module *M = new Module("test");

  // Create the add1 function entry and insert this entry into module M.  The
  // function will have a return type of "int" and take an argument of "int".
  // The '0' terminates the list of argument types.

  // because of the last argument.

  Value *One = ConstantInt::get(Type::Int32Ty, 1);

  // Get pointers to the integer argument of the add1 function...
  assert(Add1F->arg_begin() != Add1F->arg_end()); // Make sure there's an arg
  Argument *ArgX = Add1F->arg_begin();  // Get the arg
  ArgX->setName("AnArg");            // Give it a nice symbolic name for fun.

  // Create the add instruction, inserting it into the end of BB.
  Instruction *Add = BinaryOperator::createAdd(One, ArgX, "addresult", BB);

  // Create the return instruction and add it to the basic block
  new ReturnInst(Add, BB);

  // Now, function add1 is ready.


  // Now we going to create function `foo', which returns an int and takes no
  // arguments.

  // Pass Ten to the call call:

  Add1CallRes->setTailCall(true);

  // Create the return instruction and add it to the basic block.
  new ReturnInst(Add1CallRes, BB);

  // Now we create the JIT.
