Thank you. I missed that SubclassData was a bitfield.

Kind Regards

Right - this is intended to catch a problem where someone tries to store a value in SubclassData that is too large to fit in the bitfield. -Chris On May 3, 2020, at 4:45 PM, Craig Topper via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: Isn't the SubclassData member a 24 bit bitfield? I think the truncation would happen on the assignment to it. ~Craig

Hi, I see this in the Type class: unsigned getSubclassData() const { return SubclassData; } void setSubclassData(unsigned val) { SubclassData = val; // Ensure we don't have any accidental truncation. assert(getSubclassData() == val && "Subclass data too large for field"); } How will the assert ever get triggered? The type is "unsigned" so how can getSubclassData() ever not equal val ? Where does the truncation take place? Kind Regards James
