In the following code.
unsigned char x1 = atoi(argv[1]);
unsigned char x2 = atoi(argv[2]);
printf("%d\n", x1-x2);
The substraction of the last command is translated to the following IR code.
%18 = load i8, i8* %6, align 1
%19 = zext i8 %18 to i32
%20 = load i8, i8* %7, align 1
%21 = zext i8 %20 to i32
%22 = sub nsw i32 %19, %21
I don't follow the explanation of nsw in langref. Could anybody help
explain what nsw means here? Thanks.
