...ExtType enum defined, and the use of zext and sext to differentiate what containers the values are being loaded into in the IR. Basically I'm trying to describe patterns for automatically selecting between various multiplication instructions: #define MULL(t,s1,s2) t = (s1) * INT16(s2) #define MULLU(t,s1,s2) t = (s1) * UINT16(s2) #define MULH(t,s1,s2) t = (s1) * INT16((s2) >> 16) #define MULHU(t,s1,s2) t = (s1) * UINT16((s2) >> 16) #define MULHS(t,s1,s2) t = ((s1) * UINT16((s2) >> 16)) << 16 #define MULLL(t,s1,s2) t = INT16(s1) * INT16(s2) #define MULLLU(t,s1,s2) t = U...

Hi Sam, I am not a MIPS expert by any means, so YMMV, but: MIPS addu only differs to "add" in its (non)setting of the overflow flag. Because LLVM doesn't provide a way via the IR to access the overflow flag, a special notation isn't required in the IR to distinguish the two operations. Do you have another example?

Thanks for the replies guys but I think I should have phrased my question better... looking at the Mips backend there are machine instructions that operate on signed and unsigned data, such as add and addu. And like Mips, I need to specify unsigned specific instructions, so how do these get chosen between if the LLVM IR does not carry type data? A very general point in the right direction is all i
