[Sander de Smalen via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

sdesmalen added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/utils/TableGen/SveEmitter.cpp:302
       unsigned Shift = llvm::countr_zero(Mask);
+      assert(Shift >= 64 && "Shift is out of encodable range");
       return (V << Shift) & Mask;

> Thanks for the comment @sdesmalen!  Is there something that prevents the `NoFlags` from being passed as the `MaskName` here?  
There's nothing that actively prevents it, but `encodeFlag` is a utility function that has no uses outside this file and has only 4 uses. Adding an assert should be sufficient.
