[LLVMdev] Canonicalization of ptrtoint/inttoptr and getelementptr
Consider the two functions bellow:
define i8* @f(i8* %A) { %pti = ptrtoint i8* %A to i64 %add = add i64
%pti, 5 %itp = inttoptr i64 %add to i8* ret i8* %itp}
define i8* @g(i8* %A) {
%gep = getelementptr i8* %A, i64 5 ret i8* %gep}
What, if anything, prevents us from canonicalizing @f to @g?I've heard that
this might be in violation of
