249	"extern ""Builtins"""	Thierry Delisle		"gcc and clang support thousands of builtin functions which cforall must know about. Both gcc and clang lists these builtins using a custom internal format which is difficult to copy.

Some of these builtins, especially the platform specific ones, are mostly wrapped in {{{extern inline}}} functions and listed in headers.

A ""simple"" approach to supporting these would be to add a special tag to these functions so that they are added to the symbol table, but the definition is not result and simply code generated as-is.

Packaging these as {{{extern ""builtins"" {/*...*/}}}} would allowing including the wrapper headers and automatically get support for a large section of the blueprint functionnality."	enhancement	new	major	prelude	1.0		builtins
