In the input .ll file it is:

; Function Attrs: minsize optsize
define internal i16 @format_long(i16* %res.8.par, i16 %base.9.par, i32 
%x.10.par) #3 {

which is later changed somewhere in opt to:

; Function Attrs: minsize nounwind optsize
define internal fastcc i16 @format_long(i16* %res.8.par, i16 
%base.9.par, i32 %x.10.par) #2 {

Thanks,
Mikael
