Hello,
I’m trying to declare (using _silgen_name) a Swift function that maps onto an IR intrinsic with argument (i32, …). Is there a way to emit the exact variadic function from Swift?

Please don’t use @_silgen_name. Soon it will only be available within the standard library.
Instead, write C wrappers around your intrinsics and create a Clang module that you can import from Swift. If you define the wrappers as static inline functions in a header file there won’t be any runtime overhead.

If this is a real LLVM IR intrinsic, it's probably better hack the compiler to add a Builtin function. But, as always, What Are You Trying To Do?

Thanks for the help. It's a target-dependent intrinsic for a custom LLVM pass. Probably not worth hacking the Swift compiler for now. A downside is that I have to wrap the intrinsic in a header for different numbers of arguments and different arg types.
