On the issue of what bits to load for vle1.v, we need to decide whether
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
these are byte loads of length ceil(vl/8) or whether they are bit loads of length vl. Bit loads _can_ have the additional bits as tail-agnostic but must not have them as tail-undisturbed. It would be nice if these were bit loads, but it will be a little more complex for implementation and I expect we may run into other issues down the line. I think I lean toward byte loads. We have a similar issue for vse1.v as the remaining bits in the memory byte _must_ be stored with something. Here it seems simpler and perhaps more logical to say this is a byte store with length ceil(vl/8) - which helps re-enforce the choice of byte load for vle1.v. Bill
