Hello All,
In GCC trunk svn 225726 the file gcc/jit/jit-recording.c contains the
following code near line 4168:
/* The get_wide_int specialization for <long>. */
template <>
bool
memento_of_new_rvalue_from_const <long>::get_wide_int (wide_int *out) const
{
*out = wi::shwi (m_value, sizeof (m_value) * 8);
return true;
}
I am guessing that the magic constant 8 above (i.e. line 4170) is the
bits per char on the host machine, but I am not entirely sure of that.
(Maybe it is the bits per char on the target, but I guess not)
Is my understanding correct?
Do we care about running GCCJIT on weird host machines where char is
not a 8 bit byte?
Do we care abour running GCCJIT for cross-compilation to weird target
machines where char is not a 8 bits byte?
Out of curiosity, what are today the systems for which GCC is hosted,
or is targetted, on something where char are not an 8 bits byte?
Regards.
