[cfe-dev] How to overcome “unknown builtin” error message

[G Raghuram]

Hello,

I have a program that setups a clang compiler instance and adds
include paths using HeaderSearchOptions class. When I run ParseAst on
the input file libavutil/samplefmt.c (from ffmpeg package), I get the
following message on the screen. Basically, it is not able to resolve
some (gcc?) builtin functions. How do I get rid of this error? In
general, If setting include path through HeaderSearchOptions, how do I
ensure I don't miss out on all include paths from my gcc installation?

I also asked this question on here (better formatting, etc),

Thanks!
