My understanding of these operations is that they are basically integer data types whose operators have special semantics. As such, I'd suggest treating these as just new binary operators (e.g. add_fract_sat) which take normal integer datatypes (e.g. i32). LLVM 2.0 is designed to encode information about arithmetic ops into the operations instead of the types where possible: e.g. we have ashr and lshr instead of signed vs unsigned types. Would this work? -Chris -- http://nondot.org/sabre/ http...

hello, we're considering LLVM as an excellent framework for a compiler backend for a novel dsp architecture based on vliw principles that is still under development. in this context, two students at our institute are particularly interested in the following projects: I) software pipelining apparently [1], there has been already an remarkable amount of work done by tanya lattner
