<br>
</span>Oh, that's a clang thing, not LLVM: yes, I think clang has special<br>
handling for __builtin_*, and for libm functions, just turns them into<br>
a regular function call to the function. That happens in clang<br>
CGBuiltin.cpp, getBuiltinLibFunction.<br>
<br>
By the time LLVM sees the call, yes, it's just a call to "@acos".<br>
There's no such thing as "__builtin_" from LLVM's standpoint, it's<br>
purely a C thing.<br>
