How to compile llvm IR into machine code programatically?

[kant777]

I understand that the library allows for the generation of LLVM IR. How can one programmatically compile the IR to machine code?

You could dump the module into a string, write this string to a file (or just echo it), and compile it using clang.

You use TargetMachine.EmitToMemoryBuffer with the ObjectFile file type.
