[LLVMdev] i1* function argument on x86-64 (original) (raw)

I am running into a problem with 'i1*' as a function's argument which seems to have appeared since I switched to LLVM 3.6 (but can have other source, of course). If I look at the assembler that the MCJIT generates for an x86-64 target I see that the array 'i1*' is taken as a sequence of 1 bit wide elements. (I guess that's correct). However, I used to call the function from C passing in a 'bool*' which has 1 byte wideelements, I guess. (not sure if that's a compiler's choice) Now, since I haven't changed my code on these parts but only made the transition from LLVM 3.4/5 -> 3.6 I wonder if the element width has changed when i1* is used as a function's argument..!?

Thanks, Frank
