Missing ops?

[pierrec]

From the current set of integer sign extensions and f32 conversion codes, what about the following ones?
sx_i8_i16
i16_to_f32
i8_to_f32

Hi Pierre!

These ops aren't really missing. I tried to keep the number of operations down on purpose. Both to simplify the implementation of the VM, and also to favor operations that map well to current hardware.

sx_i8_i16 => You can sign-extend with sx_i8_i32. Then you can either just ignore the higher bits, or truncate with trunc_u16 if you need to discard them.

i16_to_f32, i8_to_f32 => For this you can sign-extend (if desired) and then use i32_to_f32

Curious to know what you are working on? :)

OK it makes sense. Sorry for the basic questions, this is the first time I dabble into writing a compiler, but it is a LOT of fun!
I am writing a Go compiler that targets UVM :) (well a subset of the Go specs as go routines for instance will not be supported). Making good progress but still a loooong way to go (pun intended).

It's no problem, you can ask as many questions as you want. I'm glad to see people are doing things with UVM (and having fun in the process) :)
