[llvm-dev] Why did "llvm.memcpy" changed when emitting an object file?

[Gaier, Bjoern via llvm-dev]

Sorry, I was not precise enough with my question.

I wanted to ask if I can give the JIT a hint how it should treat those intrinsic functions. Like "always create a function call" or "always use the intrinsic if available". I know that the Clang compiler has such flags but I don't know if the JIT interfaces has those too.

Kind greetings
Björn

You can't guarantee memcpy won't be called, if that's what you mean.
If nothing else, most targets simply don't have the code to build a physical loop to do the copy. You have to find a way to provide it in your JIT.

Cheers.
