It is on my todo list, I even have some half baked patches try to do that. Converting from sparse linearized code to llvm byte code should be very straight forward. Like llvm, the sparse pesudo stay in SSA from. The only tricky part is GEP, sparse convert member deference to ptr + constant + type cast on the symbol expand stage. Even before linearization. It is still doable by guesting the type plus offset. I have some idea how to preserve that information in sparse but I haven't complete it. If you try to write a sparse to llvm byte code converter, please start from the linearized instructions. It will save you a lot of work. Chris On 12/27/06, Sanghyeon Seo <sanxiyn@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
