How to execute LLVM IR generated from Codon?

1) Assume we have a python snippet like that:

# File Name: foo.py
def foo():
    print("Hello World!")
foo()

2) Convert the code to LLVM IR using Codon:

codon build -release -llvm foo.py

3) Compile Codon runtime (you need to install and setup CMake in advance):

# Clone Codon Repo
git clone https://github.com/exaloop/codon.git

# Create a build dir
mkdir build
cd build

# Compile the Codon runtime
cmake ..
make

4) Execute the generated IR using ‘lli’ with Codon runtime libcodonrt.so):

lli -load ./codon/build/libcodonrt.so ./foo.ll
