Detailed Description

Contexts are execution states for the core LLVM IR system.

Most types are tied to a context instance. Multiple contexts can exist simultaneously. A single context is not thread safe. However, different contexts can execute on different threads simultaneously.

Function Documentation

LLVMContextRef LLVMContextCreate

(

void

)

Create a new context.

Every call to this function should be paired with a call to LLVMContextDispose() or the context will leak memory.

Definition at line 72 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::wrap().

void LLVMContextDispose

(

LLVMContextRef

C

)

Destroy a context instance.

This should be called for every call to LLVMContextCreate() or memory will be leaked.

Definition at line 80 of file Core.cpp.

References llvm::unwrap().

LLVMContextRef LLVMGetGlobalContext

(

void

)

Obtain the global context instance.

Definition at line 76 of file Core.cpp.
