Fwd: [PATCH] Teach MergeFunctions about address spaces

[Stepan Dyatkovskiy]

Hi Matt,
Then, I think logic should be next:
1. In function definition (function type), we mark function types
'voo(i8*)' and 'voo2(i8 addrspace(1)*)' as equal.
2. While enumerating instructions in BBs: it depends on context should 
we ignore 'addrspace' or not.
2.1. In common case we mark 'inst0 i8*' and 'inst1 i8 addrspace(1)*' as 
different.
2.2. In particular cases (inc, add, sub) we mark instructions as equal.

On output we get equal 'voo' and 'voo2' only in case if it uses pointer 
arithmetic only.
