...i8 predicate register that represents the true predicate as -1 with a sign extend like this: addRegisterClass(MVT::i8, &Hexagon::PredRegsRegClass); setBooleanContents(ZeroOrNegativeOneBooleanContent); and I'm calling this code just before computeRegisterProperties, that builds the TransformToType table specifying the type promotions: i1 -> i8 i8 -> i8 (legal) i16 -> i32 i32 -> i32 (legal) This would be fine if the register for i8 could be used for any integer operation (as in x86 for instance), but on Hexagon, predicate registers can only be used in a few logical operations...

Hey folks, We are having some difficulty with how we have been representing our predicate registers, and wanted some advice from the list. First, we had been representing our predicate registers as 1 bit (i1). The truth, however, is that they are 8 bits. The reason for this is that they serve as predicates for conditional execution of instructions, branch condition codes, and also as
