[LLVMdev] sign and zero extensions question

[Artur Pietrek]

Hi,Could someone explain to me how the sign/zero extensions in LLVM
work, please? If I understood correctly, the int type in LLVM doesn't keep
the information about signedness of an int. So the question is how can I
know if instructions like Load or Trunc should be signed or not? I guess
that at least ARM backend  produces sign extended load so if someone could
point me to the code where it happens it would be great (I can't figure it
out).
Perhaps I should mention that I'm still working on the MSIL backend.

Thanks for your help.
