<div dir="ltr">Your load instructions have no alignment attribute on them, this isn't the same as saying that they are unaligned. Instead, it means that LLVM should use the preferred ABI alignment for that type. InstCombine is following the rules by sticking an explicit alignment attribute on your instructions.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 7:21 AM, Frank Winter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fwinter@jlab.org" target="_blank">fwinter@jlab.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Is it correct behavior that 'instcombine' not only combines instructions but also adds alignment information, and why.
