--- Comment #70 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> --- > We could add a NATIVE_ENCODE_RANGE_EXPR that encodes a contiguous range of > bytes in native target representation. Of course that has to be kept > throughout GIMPLE. (Just a silly spitballing here ... but if such a native target representation is not processed again before being sent to the assembler, it could even be stored compressed.)
