similar to: [LLVMdev] Question About Function Cloning

I have some calculations that require persistent state. For example, they retain most of the data across calls with different parameters. They retain parameters across calls with different subsets of the cases (this is for distributed computation). They retain early analysis of the problem to speed later computations. I've created an S4 object, and the stylized code looks like this calc

Greetings all, I am picking up the work that was started in https://reviews.llvm.org/D27133 — adding support for an element-atomic memcpy/memset/memmove to LLVM.
