[LLVMdev] Lowering operations to 8-bit!

[Alireza.Moshtaghi at microchip.com]

I am trying to lower all llvm operations to 8-bit. So far I was trying
to have llvm do all that for me using things like:

 

setOperationAction(ISD::ADD, MVT::ii,Promote);

setOperationAction(ISD::ADD, MVT::i8,Legal);

setOperationAction(ISD::ADD, MVT::i16,Expand);

setOperationAction(ISD::ADD, MVT::i32,Expand);

 

However, I keep getting an assertion failure that operation can not be
expanded.

Now I am thinking maybe LLVM does not lower all operations and value
types.

Before going ahead and write new DAGs for all LLVM operations, I would
like to make sure that I am doing the right thing.

 

Am I doing it right?

Do I have to write new DAGs for all of the LLVM operations? Or some of
them already do it for me?

 

Thanks,
