[llvm-dev] Beginner question: extending pointer to 128 bits segfaults

[Barbora Murinová via llvm-dev]

Hi all,

I've been trying to extend pointer size of the X86 target to 128 bits. For
the prortype, I would like nothing more than the pointers being i128 type
with the same value as before. All I've done was changing the data layout
string to p:128:128 and when trying to run a basic program such as:

int a = 42;
int *p = &a;

it segfaults with the following stack trace:

#0 0x00000000013eff7a llvm::sys::PrintStackTrace(llvm::raw_ostream&)

Now I know almost nothing about LLVM, but I assumed that since X86 target
has SSE extensions, it wouldn't have a problem with a 128-bit value type in
general. I would really appreciate any explanations and pointers you can
give me. Sorry for such a general question.

Best wishes,
Barbora
