Nope :-)<br>
<br>
The only case I've thought of where we could add these for C++ would
be on conversions to (most) enums (because they used signed
underlying types and the out-of-bounds mapping won't generally be
one of the allowed values (or maybe we can define this to be the
case?)).<br>

Hi Alexandre,<br>
<br>
LLVM currently doesn't have trunc nsw/nuw,
no.<br>
Which frontend would emit such instructions?
Any application in mind?<br>
Just asking because if no frontend could
emit those, then the motivation to<br>
add nsw/nuw support to trunc would be very
low I guess.<br>
</blockquote>
I think the clang frontend could use that to
allow better static analysis of integer
overflows<br>
on the LLVM IR.<br>
<br>
It might be interesting for static analysis
tools that want to know if you truncate
something<br>
that is too large for the target range but you
need the sign to determine, e.g. the C/C++
frontend<br>
could use that flag for trunc of
signed/unsigned integers, then you could e.g.
check if<br>
<br>
(uint8_t)x<br>
<br>
changes the values if x has stuff out of the
0..255 range.<br>
<br>
e.g. x as int with -100 => trunc nuw to 8
=> bad<br>
<br>
(int8_t)x<br>
<br>
=> trunc nsw to 8 => ok<br>
</blockquote>

I'm not sure that a C/C++ frontend could add this
flag. In C++, the conversion for unsigned types is
specified and for signed types, it's
implementation defined, but in neither case is it
UB.<br>

<div>Hmm, I don't get it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two questions:</div>
<div>- if the conversion for unsigned types is
specified, how is it undefined behavior?</div>
<div>- if the conversion for signed types is UB, then
this is a direct application of those flags, isn't
it?</div>

Subject: [llvm-dev] trunc nsw/nuw?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
From [1], trunc does not seems to have
a nsw/nuw attribute.<br>
Is it possible to have that? Or do we
have that and it is not up-to-date?<br>
<br>
The definition would be:<br>
<br>
If the nuw keyword is present, the
result value of the trunc is a poison<br>
value if the truncated high order bits
are non-zero. If the nsw keyword is<br>
present, the result value of the trunc
is a poison value if the truncated<br>
high order bits are not all equal to the
non-truncated bit of the highest<br>
order.<br>
<br>
This allow to cancel out:<br>
- sext with trunc nsw<br>
- zext with trunc nuw<br>
<br>
And probably to commute with
add/sub/mul/lshr/ashr/shl/urem<wbr>/udiv/udiv
(with<br>
the correct flags).<br>
