You are correct in that type attributes do not change the canonical type, but I perhaps didn't explain the complications properly. For instance, if I wanted to store a std::vector of these nontemporal type objects, I could not do so because the type attribute information would be lost. By using a builtin, I could instead push the temporality decision to the operation on the vector objects. ~Aaron http://reviews.llvm.org/D12221 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
