llvm dev - Apr 2013 - [LLVMdev] Define Integer to be of 2 Bytes for a Target

Hi,

     Is there a way to specify the Integer type to be of 2Byte for a 
Target? LLVM IR produces 4Bytes(i32) for Integer type. Clang can be 
tweaked to make the integer to be of 2Byte(i16), but is there a way to 
specify in the LLVM CodeGen?

There is no "int" in LLVM, only fixed size types. You'll have to
make that tweak in the program you're using to emit LLVM IR (e.g. clang).
