LegalizeIntegerType and truncating stores

Hi,

In PromoteIntOp_STORE, why can we not promote a value and generate a truncating store if the incoming store is a truncating store? Naively, I can't see why we can promote the incoming value to a legal type and then generate a truncating store. For example, one has incoming code that produces an i16 via some operation and does a truncating store the result of that value in i8. If that operation only has a 32 bit variant, it seems reasonable to promote the i16 to i32 and replace the truncating store from i16 to i8 with one from i32 to i8.

Thanks,

Hi Mon Ping,

In PromoteIntOp_STORE, why can we not promote a value and generate a
truncating store if the incoming store is a truncating store?

as far as I can see you can just remove the assertion.

Ciao,

Hi Duncan,

Thanks! I'll do so.
