• Question about RiscVAsmPrinter When I check the RiscVAsmPrinter.cpp, i found the RiscVAsmPrinter is in an anouymous namespace and it does not have .h file. • This setup is different from the one for ARM. • And this setup literally disable an new class derive from the current RiscVAsmPrinter class. • Does anyone know why this setup was chosen? • Probably because it was only used within the one .cpp file and therefore did not need to be exposed in a header file? • ARM have it separate because of ARMMCInstLower.cpp.
