Subject: MemoryObject - Abstract base class for contiguous addressable memory.
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4711326d60251e9394192032e6646fff0d113eee;p=oota-llvm.git

MemoryObject - Abstract base class for contiguous addressable memory.
  Necessary for cases in which the memory is in another process, in a
  file, or on a remote machine.

The primary use for this is the llvm-mc disassemblers, so that they
can be targeted at arbitrary objects, not just in-process memory.
