> The way I understand a bitcast instruction in SPIR-V (`OpBitcast` in https://www.khronos.org/registry/SPIR-V/specs/unified1/SPIRV.html#_conversion_instructions) is that it can only apply to pointer types which are distinct from function types. Note that I believe that function pointers are illegal, at least we disallow them in OpenCL.

FYI: we are experimenting with function pointers on Intel HW programmed via SPIR-V. Extension draft - https://github.com/intel/llvm/blob/sycl/sycl/doc/design/spirv-extensions/SPV_INTEL_function_pointers.asciidoc.
