Subject: Re: Compiling to single llvm bc, working example?
Hi Rich,
It looks like no-builtin is now an attribute https://godbolt.org/z/GsfffavKM
that gets tagged on ~ everything when compiling with ffreestanding.
Introduced in https://reviews.llvm.org/D68028 with a comment saying 'not
yet fully implemented...no effect on generated code' which is still there
at head.
Thanks for the example from picolibc! Eerily similar to the fmod loop I ran
into before, except there was no -fnobuiltin-fmod at that point.
Putting D68028 and the picolibc example together, that part may now be
resolved (despite the documentation).
Cheers!
Jon
