<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a beginners question again - please don't be mad at me!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was playing around with llvm::Module instance and ended in iterating over all global values and functions. I then noticed the function "llvm.memcpy". As I understood, this is an intrinsic coming from the LLVM.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far so good! I then emitted an object file with the llvm::ExecutionEngine and noticed an undefined references to "memcpy". Now I'm surprised! To me, it looks like that the intrinsic turned into a 'normal' function. I checked the iteration
of the functions and were not able to locate any "memcpy" there, this is why I'm assuming the intrinsic changed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if this is true - I always thought that intrinsics will be replaced by specific predefined assembly instructions, even the MSVC compiler provides a memcpy intrinsic, so I don't understand why this function would appear, when it
was an intrinsic before. Did I maybe configured the EngineBuilder wrong? Or the ExecutionEngine itself?<o:p></o:p></p>
