[cfe-dev] How to always enforce name mangling?

Of course, thanks for the interest.

The goal of this work is to enable OpenMP 4.x accelerator offloading for 
OpenCL 2.1 devices.
By specifying "-fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=spir(64)-unknown-unknown", the 
compiler should produce a fat binary consisting of host code and SPIR-V 
target code. Using the LLVM fork from Nicholas Wilson ( 
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-May/112538.html ), I 
created a toolchain to emit SPIR-V kernels and extended codegen to 
generate appropriate code for this target. I also wrote an OpenCL 2.1 
plugin for the OpenMP runtime subproject. Although the device runtime 
routines are still missing, I already got some nice results.

Now, my problem is that some benchmarks use math lib functions (in 
target regions). In principal, these functions are available on OpenCL 
devices. However, the compiler doesn't mangle the function calls, which 
makes the back-end not recognizing them as built-ins. Therefore, I would 
like to mangle the names when openmp and spir are specified, according 
to the spec.

Kind regards,
Daniel
