<div><br></div><div>Hi Quentin,</div><div><br></div><div>I suppose it can be useful, but IMHO it's an orthogonal issue to the Clang change. Some targets (like PNaCl, and possibly others that split the compilation to two distinct stages with bitcode in between) may decide that the hardcoded pow-->intrinsic translation Clang currently does is not necessarily desirable. The patch allows them to state so. It could probably be generalized even more by providing targets with a stronger tool to state that they don't want intrinsics to be generated for known lib calls. As for the SelDAG side, targets can probably already customize it by "legalizing" ISD::FPOW etc. in a special way? In any case, for split-compilation uses that's way too late :-)</div>
