//
//  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?
//
