[llvm-commits] should return values be sign/zero extended on the Cell SPU?

[Rafael Espindola]

The proposed patch for bug

http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3779

affects some Cell SPU tests (and_ops.ll for example). The difference is that
now the i8 and i16 return values are no longer sign/zero extended. I couldn't
find anything in the ABI about it, so I don't know if that is an issue or not.

For other architectures that require sign/zero extension of return values the
issue in handled with the signext attribute. Maybe the CellSPU backend needs
to handle it properly?
