Hi Bob, > What is the motivation for switching to unsigned?
I personally believe it's a more sane for a polynomial, by quite a margin. For example it means that casting a poly8_t to a poly16_t will use the natural embedding rather than converting (say) x^7 into x^15 + x^14 + ... + x^7. > Is there something different about AArch64 that makes you > want to diverge from the de facto standard for those types? I wouldn't call 2/3 a de facto standard, just a mess. > If not, it really sounds to me like it might be best to just > switch everything (including your AArch64 ABI) to use > signed poly types. That's not really a viable option at this stage. We're fixing bugs (not that we expect any, fingers crossed), but not changing the ABI for things like this. Cheers.
