[LLVMdev] LLVM language atomic and syscall/int instructions
Hello,
In reading the language reference manual I don't see any capability to
perform atomic operations or issue sys calls and or software interrupts.
I see here, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-11/msg01031.html, that
Anthony asked about atomic operations but I didn't see an answer.
Regarding syscall I see some discussions but no explanation of why it
wasn't included.
Cheers,

[LLVMdev] LLVM language atomic and syscall/int instructions
...calls and or software interrupts.
There is no reason to include syscalls directly in LLVM: LLVM wouldn't
provide any portability over using standard (e.g. unix) system calls, and
you can use inline assembly to do non-portable system calls.

I would like to see intrinsics for atomic instructions in LLVM. At one
point, these were under development, but have apparently not been
completed. If you were interested in working on such a thing, followin...
