[LLVMdev] Trunc Load

[Johannes Birgmeier]

Little-endian. (The truth: you can set it manually, but it is set to 
little endian, for sure.) The processor is a TI TMS320C64x.

Follow-up: I discovered that the "guilty" method is 
DAGCombiner::ReduceLoadWidth. The error is introduced because the offset 
is not calculated correctly.

The first problem is that the pointer I get for loading does not point 
to the address of the low word, but to the address of the high word.
The second problem is that this is apparently correct as long as lddw is 
used instead of ldw.

Do you have any ideas on this?

(The third problem is that the creation of the pointer is not my doing. 
I'm just extending our backend to support i64 additionally (instead of 
just i32 and smaller). Doing this turns out to be trickier than expected.)

Cheers,
Johannes
