...VM IR (more) sound and thus enable automatic verification of optimizations - Enable additional optimizations. Daniel mentioned better AA. There are other things, like better tracking of padding. In general, merging multiple variables in a single variable confuses most dataflow analyses. Disadvtanges: - Potential for more insert/select element instructions (although fewer bitwise operations to pull out elements) - Need a few fixes to Clang for the ABI lowering stuff I'm surely forgetting something, but that's what on the top of my head.
