-The ``llvm.objectsize`` intrinsic takes four arguments. The first argument is a
-pointer to or into the ``object``. The second argument determines whether
-``llvm.objectsize`` returns 0 (if true) or -1 (if false) when the object size is
-unknown. The third argument controls how ``llvm.objectsize`` acts when ``null``
-in address space 0 is used as its pointer argument. If it's ``false``,
-``llvm.objectsize`` reports 0 bytes available when given ``null``. Otherwise, if
-the ``null`` is in a non-zero address space or if ``true`` is given for the
-third argument of ``llvm.objectsize``, we assume its size is unknown. The fourth
-argument to ``llvm.objectsize`` determines if the value should be evaluated at
-runtime.
+The ``llvm.objectsize`` intrinsic takes six arguments:
+
+- The first argument is a pointer to or into the ``object``.
+- The second argument controls which value to return when the size is unknown:
+
+  - If it's ``false``, ``llvm.objectsize`` returns ``-1``.
+  - If it's ``true``, ``llvm.objectsize`` returns ``0``.
+
+- The third argument controls how ``llvm.objectsize`` acts when ``null`` in
+  address space 0 is used as its pointer argument:
+
+  - If it's ``false``, ``llvm.objectsize`` reports 0 bytes available when given
+    ``null``.
+  - If it's ``true``, or the ``null`` pointer is in a non-zero address space,
+    the size is assumed to be unknown.
+
+- The fourth argument to ``llvm.objectsize`` determines if the value should be
+  evaluated at runtime.
+- The fifth argument controls which size ``llvm.objectsize`` returns:
+
+  - If it's ``false``, ``llvm.objectsize`` returns the size of the closest
+    surrounding subobject.
+  - If it's ``true``, ``llvm.objectsize`` returns the size of the whole object.
+
+- If non-zero, the sixth and seventh arguments encode the size and offset
+  information, respectively, of the original subobject's layout and is used
+  when the fifth argument is ``false``.
+- The seventh argument encodes the offset information of the original
+  subobject's layout and is used when the fifth argument is ``false``.

I'm not passing a difference between two pointers; it's the offset from the start of the outermost `RecordDecl` to the object. The LLVM intrinsic recursively walks back through the instructions (that define the pointer) to try to calculate the value. It's rather convoluted and hard to read, because it involves two visitor classes called one from another. Eventually, it returns a Size / Offset pair (Offset from the start of the structure). At that point, I use the extra information I added to determine if those values are within the range of the sub-object. If it's outside of that range, I return 0. Otherwise, I calculate the remaining size after adjusting the offset (i.e. the offset is adjusted to be from the beginning of the sub-object rather than the start of the structure).
