[llvm-commits] PATCH: Aligned bundling support in LLVM MC

[Jim Grosbach]

Hi Eli,

The code all looks fine to me. Pretty excellent, in fact. I'm OK with this going in. If we change our minds (see below question), we can always back out.

I still have a bit of a funny feeling about doing this sort of thing in the assembler at all, though. It really seems it should be done as part of the target back end using alignment directives in the code stream. That ship may have already sailed, though, if we want to keep compatibility w/ GNU's binutils on these sorts of features. Chris, do you have an opinion on the general direction here?

Thanks,
  Jim
