    This is checked in the Verifier via:<br>
     Assert(GV.getAlignment() <= Value::MaximumAlignment,<br>
              "huge alignment values are unsupported", &GV);<br>
    (and similiar checks for Load, Store, Alloca, but not the various

  unsigned MaxValidAlignment =
      Context.getTargetInfo().getTriple().isOSBinFormatCOFF() ? 8192
                                                              : 268435456;

But AggValueSlot stores Alignment as an unsigned short:

class AggValueSlot {
...
  unsigned short Alignment;

The max value for an unsigned short is 2**16 -1, but you are passing 2**16, which AddeAlignment says is okay.  However, it ends up getting stored as 0 in an unsigned short.

The fix is to make these sizes consistent, but I'm not sure which should be changed  (though I'm guessing Alignment should be unsigned instead of unsigned short).</pre>
