[LLVMdev] Support for Soft-float

[Asiri Rathnayake]

Hi Eric,

> Running "clang -c -emit-llvm -msoft-float test.c -o test.bc" doesn't generate IR with soft-float library calls (perhaps understandably) - only hard float instructions. I would expect the frontend to at least be able to generate the library calls even though I'm not asking it to link to any library yet.

I think you have to explicitly pass the target. For an example:

./clang -c -emit-llvm -msoft-float test.c -o test.bc -###

Does not show -msoft-float passed into the backend. Whereas the following invocation does:

./clang -target sparc-none-linux-gnu -c -emit-llvm -msoft-float test.c -o test.bc -###

May be give this a try and see if it produces the correct lib calls?

I happened to be working on something related (for ARM).
