There is some support for modules of the form
native "llvm" mod llvm {
fn sqrt(n: float) -> float = "sqrt.f64";
}
which are intended to generate calls to llvm intrinsics. In the one case we're actually using this (the above example from shootout-nbody) we are actually just generating a call to function sqrt which happens to be in the c standard library.
I've also added a failing test in run-pass/native-llvm.rs.
Personally I think we should drop this functionality.
