//===-- IntrinsicLowering.h - Intrinsic Function Lowering -------*- C++ -*-===//
//
// The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
//
// This file was developed by the LLVM research group and is distributed under
// the University of Illinois Open Source License. See LICENSE.TXT for details.
//
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This file defines the IntrinsicLowering interface. This interface allows
// addition of domain-specific or front-end specific intrinsics to LLVM without
// having to modify all of the code generators to support the new intrinsic.
// Later, as desired, targets can incrementally add support for particular
// intrinsic functions, as desired, to generate better code.
//
// If a code generator cannot handle or does not know about an intrinsic
// function, it will use the intrinsic lowering interface to change an intrinsic
// function name into a concrete function name which can be used to implement
// the functionality of the intrinsic. For example, llvm.memcpy can be
// implemented as a call to the math library 'memcpy' function if the target
// doesn't have hardware support for the intrinsic, or if it has not yet been
// implemented yet.
//
// Another use for this interface is the addition of domain-specific intrinsics.
// The default implementation of this interface would then lower the intrinsics
// to noop calls, allowing the direct execution of programs with instrumentation
// or other hooks placed in them. When a specific tool or flag is used, a
// different implementation of these interfaces may be used, which activates the
// intrinsics in some way.
