(** Bitcode reader.

    This interface provides an OCaml API for the LLVM bitcode reader, the
    classes in the Bitreader library. *)

exception Error of string

(** [get_module context mb] reads the bitcode for a new module [m] from the
    memory buffer [mb] in the context [context].  Returns [m] if successful, or
    raises [Error msg] otherwise, where [msg] is a description of the error
    encountered.

    If parsing succeeds, ownership of [mb] is transferred to the returned
    module (for lazy deserialization); the caller must not dispose [mb]. If
    parsing fails, ownership is retained by the caller, which must dispose it.

    See the function [llvm::getBitcodeModule]. *)
val get_module : Llvm.llcontext -> Llvm.llmemorybuffer -> Llvm.llmodule

(** [parse_bitcode context mb] parses the bitcode for a new module [m] from the
    memory buffer [mb] in the context [context]. Returns [m] if successful, or
    raises [Error msg] otherwise, where [msg] is a description of the error
    encountered.

    This function does not take ownership of [mb]; the caller should dispose it
    (see {!Llvm.MemoryBuffer.dispose}) when it is no longer needed.

    See the function [llvm::ParseBitcodeFile]. *)
