for structural equivalence. Previously the code erroneously compared the<br>
pointer's type, but this code was dead because all pointer types (of the<br>
same address space) are the same. The pointee must be compared instead<br>
(using the type stored in the GEP, not from the pointer type which will<br>
be erased anyway).<br></blockquote></span><div><br>Thanks so much for being aware of this/using APIs that'll be forwards compatible with the eventual removal of typed pointers.<br><br>Just in case: do you care about the GEP pointer operands address space (I assume not) or vector types (eg: a gep over a vector of pointers)? I assume not, but just checking - both those aspects of the pointer operand are still in the pointer operand's type, not in the source element type.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We do care about address spaces in general: we can't merge two functions if they refer to different address spaces. I'm not sure that's what you're asking for though: in the end we (roughly) only want to merge functions that would codegen to the same code. I think the same applies to your vector of pointers question?</div></div></div></div>
