VecRep is used for vector operations. If you aren't using LLVM, you won't see them.
VecRep's are generated by utils/genprimopcode/Main.hs. Check out compiler/stage1/build/primop-vector-tys.hs-incl in your build tree---should be plenty of generated VecRep's there :) Cheers, Geoff On 06/07/2016 05:00 AM, Ömer Sinan Ağacan wrote: > I have some code that does things depending on PrimReps of terms and so I have > to handle VecRep there.
