I was looking at "trunc" to downcast a signed integer, say sint32 to sint16, but it seems to handle unsigned integers only. How do you downcast a signed integer? P.S.

No. In twos-complement notation (which LLVM assumes) there no difference between signed and unsigned truncation - you just throw out the spare sign bits and that's all. Please note that that the "numbers" in LLVM IR is neither signed

In the language I am working on, there are cases where the call flow graph can affect the type of a variable. A simple example is a "nullable" type (a pointer which is allowed to be NULL), which can be converted into a non-nullable type via an if-test. So for example if x is nullable, and I test x != NULL, then inside the conditional block the type of x is no longer nullable.

...wer 6 bits we could also propagate this change backwards to reduce the bitwidth of prior instructions. I'm synthesizing hardware from LLVM IR so these non-standard bitwidths can actually save chip area. I've started writing a pass to do this but I figured there might be an existing pass for downcasting 64-bit operations to 32-bit operations that I could borrow code from. Thanks, Andrew

In my language there are a lot of i16 definitions, but almost all of the time they are upgraded to i32 because my add operations only happen on i32. So to be representative to my language definition, I have a lots of Sext/Zext and Truncs pretty much every time I add or subtract. As soon as I pass through InstCombine things look much nicer, all the upcasts and downcasts go away, but my test cases

I think the implicit iterator conversions are much less important now that we have range based for loops, but I still like having them. On Tue, Oct 20, 2015 at 11:13 AM, Duncan P. N.

Hello Martin, > how a number of samples with no defined size is translated into 8, 16, or 32 bit values in my buffer Although I do not know in detail about the actual implementation of libvorbis, most of the decoders should internally produce single-precision (32bit) floating point values, or 32bit integers as the result of PCM decoding. They are downcast to PCM samples with 8bit, 16bit, or

Hi all, Usually if we want to get the called Function we can directly use CallInst->getCalledFunction(), however, today i encounter an unusual CallInst as follows: %call11 = call double (...)* bitcast (double ()* @quantum_frand to double (...)*)() the original C source involve type cast: float u,v; extern double quantum_frand(); u = 2 * quantum_frand() - 1; v = 2 * quantum_frand() -

Thanks (everyone) for the suggestions, they were helpful. What I decided to do was to essentially "wrap" LLVM's BasicBlock structure with my own block class that contains additional high-level information. Up to this point I was generating LLVM basic blocks on the fly as I walked the statement tree; Now I build my own BB graph, and then use that to generate the BB graph for

For a datapoint, Julia uses the following function description to implement approximately the capability of those functions. We then also verify that there's no direct inttoptr/ptrtoint into our gc-tracked AddressSpace with a custom verifier pass (among other sanity checks). I can provide additional details and pointers to our gc-root tracking algorithm implementation if desired (I also plan

The cpu argument in the function prototype of vcpu_is_preempted() is changed from int to long. That makes it easier to provide a better optimized assembly version of that function. For Xen, vcpu_is_preempted(long) calls xen_vcpu_stolen(int), the downcast from long to int is not a problem as vCPU number won't exceed 32 bits.
