I would like to reinterpret (not convert/cast) a 32-bit integer to a 32-bit float in GIMPLE. Is using a NOP_EXPR with the wanted type the correct way of doing this?
The reinterpretation of a value is needed to optimize reads and writes to unions. I modified the value numbering pass which worked fine, but changing PRE to use a NOP_EXPR to change the type still resulted in a conversion. It may be because of a bug somewhere else, but before doing more work I would like to make sure that NOP_EXPR is the correct operator. Thanks, Jan
