Summary: These were originally intended to represent the functions that are present on the GPU as to be provided by the LLVM libc implementation. The original plan was that LLVM libc would report which functions were supported and then the offload interface would mark those as supported. The problem is that these wrapper headers are very difficult to make work given the various libc extensions everyone does so they were extremely fragile. OpenMP already declares all functions used inside of a target region as implicitly host / device, while these headers weren't even used for CUDA / HIP yet anyway. The only things we need to define right now are the stdio FILE types. If we want to make this work for CUDA we'd need to define these manually, but we're a ways off and that's way easier because they do proper overloading.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
