testcase

@llvm.assume does not trigger constant propgation in case of pointer values.

eg No constant propagation is done to the retun statement for the following
code:

struct X { unsigned long long* a; };
unsigned long long* fail(X* x)
{
  __builtin_assume(x->a == (unsigned long long*)12345678);
  return x->a;
}

While for the following code this works as expected:

struct Y { unsigned long long a; };
unsigned long long ok(Y* y)
{
  __builtin_assume(y->a == 12345678);
  return y->a;
}

The attached testcase can be used to reproduce the issue.
