[M3devel] int32 vs. integer in compare result?

[Jay K]

In m3front\src\misc\CG.m3:

 

PROCEDURE Compare (t: ZType;  op: Cmp) =
  BEGIN
    IF Force_pair (commute := TRUE) THEN
      op := M3CG.SwappedCompare [op];
    END;
    cg.compare (t, Target.Integer.cg_type, op);
    SPop (2, "Compare");
    SPush (Type.Int32);
  END Compare;


 

compare(input type, output type, operation)

 

The integrated backend ignores the output type.

The gcc backend does not.

 

Doesn't it seem like in the above, Target.Integer and Int32 should match?

That compare is being asked to return a possibly larger result than the

front end expects?
