OK, I see. I just felt that S and D should be added too, since they are
single register constraints that have to be bound to variables smaller than
64-bit, as constraints a-d are.
I can probably add R, q, Q, to the switch-case statement too. Also, in my
next patch, I was going to add checks for constraints x and y.
Should I add the all the constraints I mentioned above to
X86_32TargetInfo::validateInputSize or X86TargetInfo::validateInputSize
first and then add the checks for output constraints?
