[llvm-dev] Doubts

[Nemanja Ivanovic via llvm-dev]

Hi Patosga,
you can control what type the operands are promoted to as follows:
AddPromotedToType (ISD::ADD, MVT::i1, MVT::i64);

For the "Expand" case, I believe you'll find what you're looking for in the
file:
lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/LegalizeDAG.cpp
and function SelectionDAGLegalize::ExpandNode(), but if I'm wrong here
perhaps others can correct me.

Finally, MVT::f32 just states that the operand is a 32-bit single precision
floating point type.
