@@ -142,12 +142,22 @@ Integer values have a fixed size and can be interpreted as either signed or
unsigned. Some instructions will interpret an operand as a signed or unsigned
number, others don't care.
The support for i8 and i16 arithmetic is incomplete and use could lead to bugs.
- i8
- i16
- i32
- i64
- i128
Of these types, i32 and i64 are the most heavily-tested because of their use by
Wasmtime. There are no known bugs in i8, i16, and i128, but their use may not
be supported by all instructions in all backends (that is, they may cause
the compiler to crash during code generation with an error that an instruction
is unsupported).
The function `valid_for_target` within the [fuzzgen function generator][fungen]
contains information about which instructions support which types.
