Hi,

 

What changes would be required in LLVM to support illegal pointer type? 

 

Regards

Sachin

Hi Sachin,

The question's a bit broad. And I don't think the answer you want is
as simple as "don't run the legalizer" (which probably won't
work). Do
you have a more specific question?

I am trying to ask a broad question. My target has 16 bit pointers but
register size is 8 bit only. What changes in LLVM would be required to
support 16 bit pointers on 8 bit registers?
