[LLVMdev] The size of char

[Vladimir Prus]

To figure out the size of data varaibles for my backend, I tries this code 
stolen from X86 backend:

    const TargetData& TD = m_tm.getTargetData();
    unsigned size = TD.getTypeSize(initializer->getType());

However, the getTypeInfo function in TargetData.cpp contains this:

   case Type::VoidTyID:
   case Type::BoolTyID:
   case Type::UByteTyID:
   case Type::SByteTyID:  Size = 1; Alignment = TD->getByteAlignment();
         return;

The problem is that my target can't address bytes -- the memory interface 
itself specifies word addresses. For that reason, I'd like to allocate 4-byte 
(word) blocks even for bools/chars/ubytes and so on. That's exactly what the 
standard compiler does, btw. 

So, what am I to do, except for copy-pasting the function and adjusting sizes?
