Hi,<br><br>I am investigating the possibilities of incorporating fixed point support into the LLVM I/R.<br><br>So far, I have experimented a bit with defining a new type, adding some instructions and extended some simple cases of optimization. What is needed is a full support of types, instructions and rewriting of optimization passes etc so as to fully incoorporate the type.<br><br>We find it important to make this part of future releases, so as to ensure a good software evolution.<br><br>We would like to know your view on all this. What would you like to see happen for an inclusion of fixed point support in the near future, in a premise of long term support?<br><br>If I were to write the code myself, what would you expect then prior to merging? Any procedure / contacts I should know of?<br><br>Are there any developers ready that you know of that are competent with LLVM and willing to do this work in a swift manner?<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Jonas Paulsson<br>Master of Science, CS<br>Ericsson AB<br><br> </body>
