Is there a recommended way to retrieve the original type from an AllocaInst object? For example, I am creating alloca instructions using the IRBuilder interface like: alloca = builder.CreateAlloca( Type::getDoubleTy( context ), 0, variableName.c_str() ); and I place the alloca into a symbol table. Later when I am generating instructions for an assignment operation, I want to check the type of
