Hi,

Just minor note, those 2 lines above should be indented 2 more space I
think (so the && operator continues to vertically align with "type->code
()").

> +	   || (type->code () == TYPE_CODE_COMPLEX))

I do not think the extra set of parens are requires (but they do no harm
either).

For the rest, it seems reasonable to me but I’ll let MIPS / global
maintainers comment.

Best,
Lancelot.
