</div><div>> Without fmath-errno, Clang currently generates calls to @llvm.pow.* intrinsics when it sees pow*(). This may not be suitable for all targets (for example PNaCl), so the attached patch adds a target hook that CodeGen queries. The target can state its preference for having or not having the intrinsic generated. Non-PNaCl behavior remains unchanged; PNaCl-specific test added.<br>
