[LLVMdev] LegalizeFloatType:ExpandFloatRes_FADD

In the 2.4 code, it explicitly used 2 Operands to the 
MakeLibCall function, whereas in 2.5 it only uses 1 Operand. 
Other functions like pow, cos, sin, only use 1 Operand as 
I would expect since they are unary functions and div/mul 
uses two operands as expected. 

But after looking more closely at the code, I realized my
Mistake in thinking that MakeLibCall was the same in both
Cases but instead it uses LibCallify instead.

Sorry for the mistake,

Micah

I don't understand the question.  The new code is supposed to do exactly
the same thing as the old code.  Can you please be more explicit about
what you think the problem is.

This turns an FADD (x, y) node into a call to a library function that
performs a floating point addition of x and y.

Ciao,

Duncan.
