The method assumes that host chars and target chars have the same width. Add a CharWidth argument so that it can bail out if the requested char width differs from the host char width. Alternatively, the check could be done at call sites, but this is more error-prone. In the future, this method will be replaced with a different one that allows host/target chars to have different widths. The prototype will be the same except that StringRef is replaced with something that is byte width agnostic. Adding CharWidth argument now reduces the future diff.
The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
