           Summary: support arbitrary-width integers in the C backend
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Backend: C
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: edwintorok at gmail.com

Currently it is not possible to use the C backend if the bitcode contains i256,
i512, or anything >128, due to:

extern llvmUInt128llc: CBackend.cpp:484:
llvm::raw_ostream&<unnamed>::CWriter::printSimpleType(llvm::raw_ostream&, const
llvm::Type*, bool, const std::string&): Assertion `NumBits <= 128 && "Bit
widths > 128 not implemented yet"' failed.

Would it be possible for the C backend to use the type legalization framework,
and tell it that it supports only i8, i16, i32, i64, (and possibly i128)?
