[LLVMdev] [global-isel] Type-independence of load/store
...ttle-endian mode, the emitted code is a bit easier to understand if the 'correct' loads and stores are used. AltiVec is an implementation of big-endian vectors that doesn’t require multiple load instructions or shuffling bitcasts. See section 4.2 of http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/ALTIVECPIM.pdf I can’t tell if MIPS and ARM are doing the same thing, or if they need different models. I don’t think either has ever been attempted in LLVM. I suspect that some tinkering is required at the IR level as well to make it work. But it seems like we’ll probably need to allow the vec...
