When Heikki made the resource owners extensible in commit
b8bff07daa85c837a2747b4d35cd5a27e73fb7b2 the API for JIT plugins changed when
ResourceOwnerForgetJIT() was moved from the generic JIT code to the LLVM
specific JIT code so now the resowner field of the context is only used by the
code of the LLVM plugin.
Maybe a bit late in the release cycle but should we make the resowner field
specific to the LLVM code too now that we already are breaking the API? I
personally do not like having a LLVM JIT specific field in the common struct.
Code is easier to understand if things are local. Granted most JIT engines will
likely need similar infrastructure but just providing the struct field and
nothing else does not seem very helpful.
I'm inclined to agree, given that the code for handling the resowner is private
to the LLVM implementation it makes sense for the resowner to be as well. A
future JIT implementation will likely need a ResourceOwner, but it might just
as well need two or none.
Committed, thanks!
