<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Taco,<br><br></div>We had a similar issue where a math intrinsic was being converted to a call to null and it turned out to be because the system didn't support the CPU instructions for the operation so the intrinsic used a call to the library function (pow in your case). However because we weren't expecting this math function to be looked up by MCJIT in our JITMemoryManager::getPointerToNamedFunction() we weren't making it available and it was returning null.<br>
<br></div>Not sure if this is relevant to your case but maybe it'll help point you in the right direction.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Andrew<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 8:32 AM, Taco H. in den Bosch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:taco@heddesit.nl" target="_blank">taco@heddesit.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>
