1.4.2 40-Bit Detection in Host Emulation Mode

To assist in detecting kernels that rely upon 40-bit elements, host emulation mode may be configured to warn when an operation is executed that depends on the high 8 bits. (For example, a comparison between two large values.) Defining VCOP_40_BIT_DETECTION to 1 will enable this feature. If VCOP_40_BIT_FATAL is also defined to 1, execution will halt after the first warning. This method of detection must be used in conjunction with a set of input data that is representative of expected input.
