In this case, the difference would be that llvm.stackmap does not reserve space for patching, while llvm.patchpoint does.</blockquote><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); float: none; display: inline !important;">I'm slightly confused by this given that stackmap takes an argument indicating the number of nops to emit as well, but it's not worth debating this any more. Let's move on. We can revisit this once I'm actually using the new intrinsics and can provide real concrete feedback. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div>I want this to be clear when we expose the intrinsics to other developers.
