[LLVMdev] Adding custom #pragma for clang

[Mark Heffernan]

A number of new pragmas were added recently to clang to support loop
optimization hints.  The syntax is "#pragma clang loop ..." where "..." is
a sequence of hints such as "unroll(4)".  These hints result in llvm.loop
metadata being added to the IR to annotate the loop.  Depending upon what
you're doing this may be a good model to follow.
