> * Calling getBaseObject() on a GlobalIFunc returns its resolver function. I still don't understand how it can happen looking to the code ( https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/lib/IR/Globals.cpp#L430). I believe it should return nullptr (the same as if you call it from GlobalAlias that refers to Glob...

...w process we happened upon a design limitation or perhaps a potential mis-modelling of GlobalIFunc in the IR object hierarchy, which leads to some problems in LTO flows. To summarize, as it currently stands (and in the hopes of faithfully representing the conclusions of that discussion): * Calling getBaseObject() on a GlobalAlias whose aliasee is a GlobalIFunc currently returns null. * Calling getBaseObject() on a GlobalIFunc returns its resolver function. * This causes computeAliasSummary in ModuleSummaryAnalysis to crash on a null dereference for an alias-to-ifunc situation. * A GlobalIFunc and its reso...
