Namespace

Ubiquity.NET.Llvm

Assembly

GetIntrinsicDeclaration(LazyEncodedString, params ITypeRef[])

Gets a declaration for an LLVM intrinsic function

Function GetIntrinsicDeclaration(LazyEncodedString name, params ITypeRef[] args)

Parameters

name LazyEncodedString

Name of the intrinsic

args ITypeRef[]

Args for the intrinsic

Returns

Function

Function declaration

Remarks

This method will match an overloaded intrinsic based on the parameter types. If an intrinsic has no overloads then an exact match is required. If the intrinsic has overloads than a prefix match is used.

important

It is important to note that the prefix match requires the name provided to have a length greater than that of the name of the intrinsic and that the name starts with a matching overloaded intrinsic. for example: 'llvm.memset' would not match the overloaded memset intrinsic but 'llvm.memset.p.i' does. Thus, it is generally a good idea to use the signature from the LLVM documentation without the address space, or bit widths. That is instead of 'llvm.memset.p0i8.i32' use 'llvm.memset.p.i'.
