> On a mostly unrelated note, making llvm.sqrt() return undef rather than NaN for negative numbers is completely useless; we might as well just say that @llvm.sqrt is precisely the IEEE 754 squareRoot() operation minus any side-effects. We can mark a call "nnan" to indicate that the backend doesn't need to worry about negative numbers and nans.

No response to this?
