If you're looking for examples, I think most backends will generate libcalls (for things they don't support). I don't look at other backends too much, but perhaps a simple example from the ARM backend is compiling this example:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span>double foo(double a, double b) {<br>
</span>
<div> return a < b;<br>
</div>
<span>}</span><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span>for a core that doesn't support natively double precision operations (e.g. compile with --target=arm-arm--eabihf -mcpu=cortex-m4). If you request debug and -print-after-all on the command line, you can trace where the different things get introduced and
generated. For this fcmp example in the ARM backend, you will see that it all kind of starts with describing the SETCC operation, which generates this fcmp, to "expand" for the f64 data type. This is picked up by the generic type legalizer, which will query
backends to see if it e.g. needs to "soften" float operands. Also, in the backend you will see mappings from the generic library calls, to the target specific libcalls. This is a very briefly description, but I don't think it works much different for other
cases. For the i64 cases, you perhaps don't need libcalls as it can be done with 32-bit instruction, like in the ARM backed.</span></div>

<span>There have been quite a number of talks on how writing your own backend on the llvm dev conferences. Although I haven't checked, I guess they they spent some slides on this, so perhaps you can get some inspiration from there.</span></div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif"; color:black">How is the ideal way of implementing the custom library calls? Providing us with a target backend having a similar functionality would also help us significantly.</span></p>

problem?</span></p>
