Typeless pointers and intrinsics
...m asking this in a separate thread.

Do you know what would happen with the llvm.ptr.annotation intrinsic? Frontends use that to annotate members of structs:
struct S {
[[some_annotation]] int annotated_array[10];
int not_annotated_array[100;
};
However, there is a big difference between annotating a pointer of type S*, a pointer of type [10 x i32]*, and a pointer of type i8*. The intrinsic is overloaded for "any pointer" type to allow distinguishing between those t...
