Hi, GlobalISel currently drops all type information relating to the integer/FP distinction during the IR translation pass, as the LLT types only represent whether a value is a scalar/vector/pointer and it’s size/shape. To compensate, later passes use the FP operations on those values to guess what kind of value is being stored within that virtual register. This means that i32/float loads get
