           Summary: Address-space casts cause LLVM assertion
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: LLVM Codegen
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: pcwalton at mimiga.net

This code causes an LLVM assertion ("Pointer must be a pointer to Val type"
during generation of a StoreInst):

    #define MY_ADDRESS_SPACE    __attribute__((address_space(512)))
    void MY_ADDRESS_SPACE *x = (void MY_ADDRESS_SPACE *)malloc(123);

But this works fine:

    #define MY_ADDRESS_SPACE    __attribute__((address_space(512)))
    void MY_ADDRESS_SPACE *x = (void MY_ADDRESS_SPACE *)(uintptr_t)malloc(123);

Looks like clang isn't generating a bitcast instruction where one is needed,
and the intermediate uintptr_t forces the bitcast generation.
