assuming all assemblers are okay with what the streamer does, and adding an AsmPrinter helper seems very reasonable.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The AsmPrinter class supports functions like EmitInt8, EmitInt16, and EmitInt32 for writing a 1/2/4 byte directive to the assembly. Each of these calls the MCStreamer::EmitIntValue method with the corresponding
size. For some reason, there is no EmitInt64, and I was wondering if there was a fundamental reason why? The EmitIntValue function appears to support 8-byte inputs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I dug into this a bit more and found a commit way back in 2010 (r100296) that removed the "EmitInt64" equivalent, with no explanation (presumably it was unused).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I'd find this function quite helpful - I'm currently working on extending the DwarfGenerator unit-test helper class to support debug line, and I'd like to be able to write 8 byte values (e.g. to reflect DWARF64
lengths). I could trivially reinstate the function, but if there's a good reason not to, it would be good to know before I go to the effort of creating a review for it.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks for any help.<o:p></o:p></p>
