...)) and (load (cast ...)): canonicalize toward the former. Historically, we've tried to load using the type of the *pointer*, and tried to match that type as closely as possible removing as many pointer casts as we could and trading them for bitcasts of the loaded value. This is deeply and fundamentally wrong. Repeat after me: memory does not have a type! This was a hard lesson for me to learn working on SROA. There is only one thing that should actually drive the type used for a pointer, and that is the type which we need to use to load from that pointer. Matching up pointer types to the loaded value types is very useful because it minimizes the physical size of the IR required for no-op casts. Similarly, the only thing that should drive the type used for a loaded value is *how that value is used*! Again, this minimizes casts. And in fact, the *only* thing motivating types in any part of LLVM's IR are the types used by the operations in the IR. We should match them as closely as possible. I've ended up removing some tests here as they were testing bugs or behavior that is no longer present. Mostly though, this is just cleanup to let the tests continue to function as intended. The only fallout I've found so far from this change was SROA and I have fixed it to not be impeded by the different type of load. If you find more places where this change causes optimizations not to fire, those too are likely bugs where we are assuming that the type of pointers is "significant" for optimization purposes. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@220138 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 |
