[libc-commits] [libc] Add indirection for name-mangled expf overloads (PR #182179)

via libc-commits libc-commits at lists.llvm.org
Wed Feb 18 15:21:44 PST 2026


https://github.com/Sterling-Augustine created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/182179

Proof of concept for genericizing the name-mangled vector-versions of expf, to allow the vectorizer to call from C.

There is no standardized way to extract a mangled-name at compile time. 

This patch use builds on the diffs in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/173058 with changes to two files:

libc/src/mathvec/expf.h
libc/src/mathvec/generic/expf.cpp

The new usage would be something like:

simd_float_type f = __expf_simd_float(foo);

This relies on the vectorizer properly creating a cpp::vector<float> itself.
