> This patch expands the newly added system for hsdis backends to include LLVM.
>
> The actual code in hsdis-llvm.cpp is based heavily on the work by @luhenry, as published in the never integrated PR https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/392. (I have basically just ripped out the binutils-based part of it.)
>
> Unfortunately I have not been able to make this work properly on Windows. With some additional flags I made it compile without complaints, but it caused hotspot to segfault in `LoadLibrary` (!) in `os::dll_load` when I tried to load the library. This is somewhat ironic, since the initial implementation was created by Ludovic for the very purpose of using it on Windows.
>
> The lack of Windows support in this patch does not mean it is impossible to get it to work, just that I need to co-operate with someone who has more experience of compiling LLVM on Windows, and/or are more eager to get this combination to work.
