[cfe-dev] how to change the pointer size to 64 bits in 32bit target

[Sam Elliott via cfe-dev]

Clang evaluates `sizeof(x)` before it generates LLVM IR, as I think you can tell.

Look at the classes in `clang/lib/Basic/Targets/RISCV.h`. In particular, there are lots of variables in the `TargetInfo` class which give these sizes. You want to override `PointerWidth` (and also some others, in all likelihood). Look at the initializer for RISCV64TargetInfo.
