17:30:32 Bike ::notify karlosz what if we introduce multiple-to-fixed in meta-evaluate? it seems simple to have meta-evaluate collapse (mv(-local)-call f known-values...) to a call and then try to interpolate again

17:30:32 Colleen Bike: Got it. I'll let karlosz know as soon as possible.

18:21:02 Bike ::notify karlosz as opposed to leaving things as mv-calls all the way to mir level, i mean

18:21:02 Colleen Bike: Got it. I'll let karlosz know as soon as possible.

19:12:13 ebrasca beach: How is your editor going?

19:38:59 Bike but this wouldn't be like the old multiple-to-fixed since the number of values is known

19:39:06 Bike which makes it seem a little more pointless, hrm.

19:43:49 Bike still, i think this is the main thing slowing the mirtype branch. i guess the alternate would be doing it at mir level... might as well try that i suppose...

22:10:17 karlosz ..

22:11:59 karlosz Bike: is there a drawback to just leaving that up to a non-bir level?

22:12:25 Bike including the interpolation?

22:13:14 karlosz is local-mv-call slower than multiple-to-fixed?

22:13:30 karlosz i guess it is

22:14:05 karlosz you could translate local-mv-call without allocating an llvm function probably

22:14:51 karlosz interpolation doesn't make sense without a multiple-to-fixed instruction anyway
