You should really run -mem2reg (without the optnone though). Also<br>
-instcombine is afterwards often helpful to clean up clang generated<br>
code, or maybe just run it with -O1.<br>

<br>
Let's see: argc is %0 and argv == &argv[0] is %1. The latter is stored<br>
in %5, which is loaded as %6. The GEP (%7) is a no-op, thus %6 == %7.<br>
Finally, %8 is the value argv[0] of type char/i8.<br>

<br>
Sorry can't help with that. I don't know the Interpreter class and I<br>
guess "GenericValue" and "visitGetElementPtrInst" are somehow related to<br>
it.<br>
