.ll of foo() after -O2

The C++ testcase on Linux is:

  #include <string>
  using namespace std;
  void foo() { string s; }

which optimizes down to nothing with gcc, but produces the attached .ll file in
clang++. The problem is this hideous constant expression:

i1 icmp eq ([0 x i32]* bitcast (i8* getelementptr (%"_Rep"* bitcast ([0 x i32]*
@foo to %"_Rep"*), i32 1, i32 0, i32 -12) to [0 x i32]*), [0 x i32]* @foo)

where %"_Rep" = type { [12 x i8] } . Target data is available, though offhand I
don't think it should be needed.
