Nope,  I'm looking for BDup2_x1Inst, BDup1_x2Inst and BDup2_x2Inst.

If you're sure that the '2' in the above instructions stands for a Long
or Double, you can get the desired result by using BDup1_x1Inst, but if
the '2' stands for two ints, then I don't see how.

Yep, I get a RuntimeException: "invalid switch case", meaning, you're
not supposed to use them.
