[PATCH] D37494: Change encodeU/SLEB128 to pad to certain number of bytes

[Sam Clegg via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

sbc100 added a comment.

My understanding is that with LEB one can pad to any number of bytes.  We use 5 when we write 32-bit values in wasm because 5 is the number of bytes required to encode any 32-bit number as an LEB.   We likewise use 10 bytes when writing padded 64-values.  One might conceivably use 2 and 3 when writing 8-bit and 16-bit  values as well.
