System Utilities Interface

==========================
|
|
|
|
The design of this library has several key constraints aimed at shielding LLVM
|
|
from the vagaries of operating system differences. The goal here is to provide
|
|
interfaces to operating system concepts (files, memory maps, sockets, signals,
|
|
locking, etc) efficiently and in such a way that the remainder of LLVM is
|
|
completely operating system agnostic.

PLEASE READ AND COMPREHEND FULLY THE DOCUMENTATION in

before making changes to this library.
|
|
|
|
Briefly, the rules are:
|
|
|
|
1. This library may not expose no system-specific header files (STL excepted).
|
|
2. This library may not allocate memory (directly).
|
|
3. This library may not throw exceptions.
|
|
4. This library may not use virtual methods in its classes.
|
|
5. This library may not expose system specific types, data or functions through
|
|
its interface
