[cfe-dev] type qualifiers

[Mattias Holm]

In include/clang/AST/Type.h there is a comment saying:

    
/// The maximum supported address space number.
/// 24 bits should be enough for anyone.
MaxAddressSpace = 0xffffffu,

However, later in that file the following appears:
  
// bits:  |0 1 2|3 .. 4|5  ..  31|
//          |C R V|GCAttr|AddrSpace|

uint32_t Mask;

static const uint32_t GCAttrMask = 0x18;
static const uint32_t GCAttrShift = 3;
static const uint32_t AddressSpaceMask = ~(CVRMask | GCAttrMask);  
static const uint32_t AddressSpaceShift = 5;


So, the question is, is the address space supposed to be 24 bits or 27 bits as suggested by the AddressSpaceMask? I am interested in stealing some bits from the qualifier class in order to add some additional experimental type qualifiers.
