With SVP64 supporting [[sv/remap]] it is not conceptually that much of a leap to support complex numbers, given that the hardware to do so is already in place. It is however extremely important to keep the tag context down to a bare minimum size, because, like SVSTATE, it has to be added to the interrupt context alongside SRR0 and SRR1. -- 2.30.2
