This is implemented behind the new
gcc_jit_context_get_target_builtin_function entrypoint, right?

If so, perhaps that recording::context::get_target_builtin_function
could detect if it's the first time it's been called on this context,
and if so make a playback::context to do the detection?  That way it
would be transparent to the user, and work first time.


I see you have patches to add function and variable attributes; I
wonder if this would be cleaner internally if there was a
recording::attribute class, rather than the std::pair currently in use
(some attributes have int arguments rather than string, others have
multiple args).

I also wondered if a "gcc_jit_attribute" type could be exposed to the
user, e.g.:

  attr1 = gcc_jit_context_new_attribute (ctxt, "noreturn");
  attr2 = gcc_jit_context_new_attribute_with_string (ctxt, "alias",
"__foo");
  gcc_jit_function_add_attribute (ctxt, attr1);
  gcc_jit_function_add_attribute (ctxt, attr2);

or somesuch?  But I think the API you currently have is OK.

I see that the new entrypoints have e.g.:

/* Add a try/catch statement.
   This is equivalent to this C++ code:
     try {
        try_block
     }
     catch {
        catch_block
     }
*/

void
gcc_jit_block_add_try_catch (gcc_jit_block *block,
			     gcc_jit_location *loc,
			     gcc_jit_block *try_block,
			     gcc_jit_block *catch_block);

but I'm not sure how this is meant to interact with the CFG-like model
used by the rest of the gcc_jit_block_* API.  What happens at the end
of the blocks?  Does the generated code use the C++ ABI for exception-
handling?
