           Summary: sbyte is inconsistent with other integer types
           Product: libraries
           Version: 1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: LLVM assembly language parser
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: rspencer at x10sys.com


Currently, we have the following signed integer types:

sbyte
short
int
long

And the following unsigned integer types:

ubyte
ushort
uint
ulong

The inconsistency is that "sbyte" is unlike the other signed types and should
really just be "byte". Either that or the signed types should be "sshort",
"sint" and "slong".

Unfortunately, fixing this breaks the LLVM assembly language.
