Description
Meta ticket to track ongoing work to improve codegen for _BitInt types - especially for bitwidths larger than native: e.g. _BitInt(1024)
Contributor guide
Research direction
This meta ticket tracks ongoing X86 codegen work for C _BitInt types, especially widths larger than native, but names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating existing _BitInt codegen work in the LLVM X86 backend and its tests; completion criteria would need to be defined for the targeted wider bitwidths.
