[llvm-dev] Adding libcall support for Rust's new vector math library

I think you could do this by example. There is a front-end part, e.g. https://reviews.llvm.org/D53928, and there is back-end part, e.g. https://reviews.llvm.org/D53927.

Sounds like a good plan to me, but perhaps others know more/better.

Thanks!

Clang option -fveclib=​ can be used to specify a vector library, so I think the infrastructure is there and you'll just need to plumb in support for yours.

Yeah, I'm aware the infrastructure already exists, I'm just not sure how I should add the new code -- which classes should I subclass/modify?
