stored rather than the pointer type. This change is analogous to r220138 which changed the canonicalization for loads. The rationale is the same: memory does not have a type, operations (and thus the values they produce) have a type. We should match that type as closely as possible rather than reading some form of semantics into the pointer type. With this change, loads and stores should no longer be made with nonsensical types for the values that tehy load and store. This is particularly important when trying to match specific loaded and stored types in the process of doing other instcombines, which is what led me down this twisty maze of miscanonicalization. I've put quite some effort into looking through IR to find places where LLVM's optimizer was being unreasonably conservative in the face of mismatched load and store types, however it is possible (let's say, likely!) I have missed some. If you see regressions here, or from r220138, the likely cause is some part of LLVM failing to cope with load and store types differing. Test cases appreciated, it is important that we root all of these out of LLVM. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@222748 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
