   9 //  This small program provides an example of how to quickly build a small
  10 //  module with two functions and execute it with the JIT.
  11 //
  12 // Goal:
  13 //  The goal of this snippet is to create in the memory
  14 //  the LLVM module consisting of two functions as follow:
  15 //
  16 // int add1(int x) {
  17 //   return x+1;
  18 // }
  19 //
  20 // int foo() {
  21 //   return add1(10);
  22 // }
  23 //
  24 // then compile the module via JIT, then execute the `foo'
  25 // function and return result to a driver, i.e. to a "host program".
  26 //
  27 // Some remarks and questions:
  28 //
  29 // - could we invoke some code using noname functions too?
  30 //   e.g. evaluate "foo()+foo()" without fears to introduce
  31 //   conflict of temporary function name with some real
  32 //   existing function name?
  33 //
