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.

code, you will likely need to add support for your intrinsic there as well.
This is usually accomplished by adding a new node, and then teaching the
SelectionDAG code how to handle that node. To do this, follow the steps in

<dt>Once you have added the new node, add code to
<tt>SelectionDAG/SelectionDAGISel.cpp</tt> to recognize the intrinsic. In most
cases, the intrinsic will just be turned into the node you just added. For an

targets supported by the SelectionDAG framework will natively support the

If targets may support the new node being added only at certain sizes, you
will also need to add code to your node's case statement in
<tt>LegalizeOp</tt> to Promote your node's operands to a larger size, and
perform the correct operation. You will also need to add code to
- <tt>PromoteOp</tt> to do this as well. For a good example, see ISD::BSWAP,
+ <tt>PromoteOp</tt> to do this as well. For a good example, see

which promotes its operand to a wider size, performs the byteswap, and then
shifts the correct bytes right to emulate the narrower byteswap in the
wider type.</li>
