To +do this, it takes the test program and partitions it into two pieces: one piece which it compiles with the C backend (into a shared object), and one piece which it runs with either the JIT or the static LLC compiler. It uses several techniques to reduce the amount of code pushed through the LLVM code generator, to reduce the potential scope of the problem.
