@ -107,19 +107,17 @@ support for it. Generally you must do the following steps:</p>
<dt>Add support to the C backend in <tt>lib/Target/CBackend/</tt></dt>
<dd>Depending on the intrinsic, there are a few ways to implement this. For
most intrinsics, it makes sense to add code to lower your intrinsic in
<tt>LowerIntrinsicCall</tt> in <tt>lib/CodeGen/IntrinsicLowering.cpp</tt>.
Second, if it makes sense to lower the intrinsic to an expanded sequence of C
code in all cases, just emit the expansion in <tt>visitCallInst</tt> in
<tt>Writer.cpp</tt>. If the intrinsic has some way to express it with GCC
(or any other compiler) extensions, it can be conditionally supported based on
the compiler compiling the CBE output (see <tt>llvm.prefetch</tt> for an
example).
Third, if the intrinsic really has no way to be lowered, just have the code
generator emit code that prints an error message and calls abort if executed.

want to generate as well. There are lots of examples in the PowerPC and X86
