[LLVMdev] The definition of getTypeSize
...that getTypeSizeInBits corresponds to (1) and (2), as shown by it returning 36 for i36. This is like gcc's TYPE_PRECISION, and is a useful concept - but I think the name should be changed, since right now it implicitly suggests it returns 8*getTypeSize. If no one objects, I will rename it to getBitsUsedByType. Currently getTypeSize doesn't seem to correspond to any of these possibilities, at least for APInt's: the current implementation returns the APInt bitwidth rounded up to a multiple of the alignment. That makes it sound like it's trying to be (5). I think getTypeSize should be define...

If no one > objects, I will rename it to getBitsUsedByType. Isn't it the other way around? Type information should be specified in bits, not in bytes. So getTypeSizeInBits returns the exact size in bits. I don't see how the new name is any clearer. I actually prefer the current name. > > Currently getTypeSize doesn't seem to corr...
