[llvm-commits] CVS: llvm/include/llvm/Bytecode/Format.h

[LLVM]

Changes in directory llvm/include/llvm/Bytecode:

Format.h updated: 1.9 -> 1.10

---
Log message:

bug 402: http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/PR402 :
A new set of block identifiers has been added for version 1.3 so that the
range of values can fit within 5 bits. This aids in halving the size of
block headers.
