There is no "unsigned long long" basic type in swift (or pretty much any other language). While you could say that the function returns the langauge's equivalent of the named C type, by doing that, and also encoding all of the type promotion rules inside common code, you're basically hardcoding everything that makes the swift type system unique (when it comes to numbers at least). Maybe that's okay, but at that point, I'm wondering if there's any point in using a non-C type system.
OTOH, if we say that addition of two swift variables should behave "like in swift", then I think all of the addition code (including type ranking, promotion, and whatnot) needs to happen inside a plugin (because swift doesn't have type promotion). At that point, the question of using GetBasicType may become moot. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/147064 _______________________________________________ lldb-commits mailing list lldb-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-commits
