llvm.x86.vcvtps2ph.128 missing

[m4b]

I was directed to create an issue when compiling a particular example in iced_anim (the other examples I was build and trying out did not panic fwiw).

Simple repro (assumes cranelift + cargo all setup, etc.):

git clone https://github.com/bradysimon/iced_anim

cd iced_anim

cargo r --example animated_widgets

thread 'main' (180923) panicked at library/core/src/panicking.rs:225:5:

Great work btw, I recently started using it again, and I have subsecond incremental debug builds with it + wild on linux machines, for rather large project like iced application, very impressive!

Also just ran into llvm.x86.vcvtps2ph.128. Seems to be conversion of f32 to f16 https://github.com/Mic92/x86_64-linux-cheatsheats/blob/master/pages/VCVTPS2PH

If I would like to contribute to this, how would I go about it? I am reading the src/intrinsics/llvm_x86.rs and trying to figure out how it works.

Any tips for how to go about it?

Basically look for the corresponding user facing function in core::arch (https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/tree/master/crates/core_arch) and then replicate the behavior given for this function in the intel intrinsic guide.
