//===-- Intercept.cpp - System function interception routines -------------===//
//
// If a function call occurs to an external function, the JIT is designed to use
// dlsym on the current process to find a function to call.  This is useful for
// calling system calls and library functions that are not available in LLVM.
// Some system calls, however, need to be handled specially.  For this reason,
// we intercept some of them here and use our own stubs to handle them.
//
