5The files in this directory are meant to accompany the second blog in a series of
6three blog posts that describe the process of porting the Kaleidoscope tutorial
7to use the MCJIT execution engine instead of the older JIT engine.

12The source code in this directory demonstrates the second version of the
13program, now modified to implement a sort of 'lazy' compilation.
14
15The toy-jit.cpp file contains a version of the original JIT-based source code
16that has been modified to disable most stderr output for timing purposes.

18To build the program you will need to have 'clang++' and 'llvm-config' in your
19path. If you attempt to build using the LLVM 3.3 release, some minor
20modifications will be required.

22This directory also contains a Python script that may be used to generate random
23input for the program and test scripts to capture data for rough performance
24comparisons.
