llvm dev - Apr 2017 - How to assign variable of specific type into another meory address space

Hi,


I'm working on a target which has two separate memory address space, one is
for general data type, i.e., char, int, float, and so on, the other is allocated
for vector type. Currently the compiler is ready for general types, but I have
no idea of how to implement  the rest.


Due to separate address space, maybe another backend for vector type is a kind
of solution. However, I don't think it's a good idea. Could you please
give me some advice ?


Yours,

Winter

Perhaps you can refer to NVPTX backend, or just `grep AddressSpace` in
lib/Target.
