llvmjit: Work around bug in LLVM 3.9 causing crashes after 7255943.

anarazel · anarazel · commit fe2a16d8b3e6 · 2020-10-15T18:17:00.000-07:00
Unfortunately in LLVM 3.9 LLVMGetAttributeCountAtIndex(func, index) crashes when called with an index that has 0 attributes. Since there's no way to work around this in the C API, add a small C++ wrapper doing so. The only reason this didn't fail before 7255943 is that there always are function attributes...
