[cfe-dev] [LLVMdev] LLVM frontend supporting arbitrary bit-width integral datatypes

[ihusar]

Hi Eli,

  thank you for your answer, I have already solved the issue using C structures ( i.e. struct i5 { int a:5}),
that work exactly as i needed.  Description can be found here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2009-June/023352.html

Have a nice day 
  Adam
