[LLVMdev] Lowering Call Return

[Khaled Mohammed]

Thanks for the help.
Vector parameters were flattened due to absence of vector register class. I
was working with Pseudo vector registers, meant for lowering calls args and
returns only. The target does not support vector registers. So the approach
of using Pseudo vector register seemed to complicate the lowering!

Are there any other ways of handling vectors from FE, if the target does
not support vector registers? Has anyone considered converting the vectors
to arrays rather than flattening? May be, do a llvm pass which converts all
the llvm IR vectors to llvm IR arrays.
