From 96db6fcb2e81aa310b76b10a6aa3fce94b58ad75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Criswell Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2004 16:33:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Corrected the descriptions of the llvm.writeport and llvm.writeio intrinsics. Modified llvm.readio and llvm.writeio to use pointers to memory instead of integers. This should take care of problems such as different pointer sizes, casting integers to pointers, weird architectural pointer types, etc. Re-worded the description of llvm.readio and llvm.writeio so that it should be more clear as to why they should be used over regular loads/stores for I/O. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@12867 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 --- docs/LangRef.html | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/LangRef.html b/docs/LangRef.html index 76655ad4fc8..26b709e9a01 100644 --- a/docs/LangRef.html +++ b/docs/LangRef.html @@ -2077,13 +2077,13 @@ I/O port.
