...mple, looking at the ValueMap in the linker one would expect a Function to map to a Function. That's not true here. A Function maps to a bitcast. It also means the generated code will be suboptimal on targets like x86-64 that require extra processing for vararg calls. This happens because RecursiveResolveTypes in LinkModules.cpp doesn't understand that a "more fully specified" function argument list is compatible with a "less fully specified" one and that it should be perfectly fine to resolve the type to the more specified one. Would it break things horribly if I went in an...
