//
// This small program provides an example of how to quickly build a small
// module with two functions and execute it with the JIT.
//
// Goal:
// The goal of this snippet is to create in the memory
// the LLVM module consisting of two functions as follow:
//
// int add1(int x) {
// return x+1;
// }
//
// int foo() {
// return add1(10);
// }
//
// then compile the module via JIT, then execute the `foo'
// function and return result to a driver, i.e. to a "host program".
//
// Some remarks and questions:
//
// - could we invoke some code using noname functions too?
// e.g. evaluate "foo()+foo()" without fears to introduce
// conflict of temporary function name with some real
// existing function name?
