What do you mean with 'space'? According to LLVM doc open arrays shall be 
implemented using arrays of size zero while relying on LLVM not to do any 
boundary checks.

My code is certainly not tutorial, but you find running LLVM-EDSL-Haskell 
code in

Using LLVM from GHCi is another issue. I got it working on LLVM-2.5 with 
some hacks, but then in LLVM-2.6 it worked no longer. Manuel Chakravarty 
reported to got it working on Mac, but I have no success with LLVM-2.8 on 
Linux. :-(
