As you have already seen, what sparse produce after linearization is more low-level that LLVM's IR, it's closer to what a CPU would see. So I think you should see sparse's offset simply as an *address offset*, the values involved being the values that would in the register of some CPU. -- Luc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
