This virtual function can be implemented by targets to specify the type to use for the index operand of INSERT_VECTOR_ELT, EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT, INSERT_SUBVECTOR, EXTRACT_SUBVECTOR. The default implementation returns the result from TargetLowering::getPointerTy() The previous code was using TargetLowering::getPointerTy() for vector indices, because this is guaranteed to be legal on all targets. However, using TargetLowering::getPointerTy() can be a problem for targets with pointer sizes that differ across address spaces. On such targets, when vectors need to be loaded or stored to an address space other than the default 'zero' address space (which is the address space assumed by TargetLowering::getPointerTy()), having an index that is a different size than the pointer can lead to inefficient pointer calculations, (e.g. 64-bit adds for a 32-bit address space). There is no intended functionality change with this patch. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@187748 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
