llvm dev - Sep 2011 - [LLVMdev] Preventing long longs in C backend

Hi all,

Is there any way to make the C backend not omit long longs for i64 values,
on a 32 bit machine?
I'm thinking of either some frontend or some backend flag... any ideas?



Thanks in advance!

no.

There's a vague plan to rewrite the C backend more like an ordinary backend,
so
it would run after the type legalizer.  If that was done then it wouldn't be
hard to support this.  But as far as I know no-one is working on the rewrite.

Ciao, Duncan.
