Hi,

     Is there a way to specify the Integer type to be of 2Byte for a Target? LLVM IR produces 4Bytes(i32) for Integer type. Clang can be tweaked to make the integer to be of 2Byte(i16), but is there a way to specify in the LLVM CodeGen?

There is no "int" in LLVM, only fixed size types. You'll have to make that tweak in the program you're using to emit LLVM IR (e.g. clang).
