How should LLVM interpreter handle llvm.objectsize.i64

Hello LLVMer,

I use dragonegg to generate LLVM bitcode. Then I use LLVM interpreter to
execute what I get from compilation. However an error occurred and the error
message is:
“LLVM ERROR: Code generator does not support intrinsic function ‘llvm.objectsize.i64’!.”
As far as I know, objectsize intrinsic is equivalent to gcc built-in function
__builtin_object_size. But I don’t call __builtin_object_size explicitly in my
source code. Maybe headers what I include call the built-in somewhere. How do
I eliminate such built-in function call in LLVM bitcode, or what code should I
add into IntrinsicLowering.cpp to handle this problem.

Any suggestion or comment is welcomed.

Thanks

My suggestion would be to always lower to "unknown". See the code in,
IIRC, codegenprepare (or fast-isel) that does this.
