[PATCH] D88979: [InstCombine] combineLoadToOperationType(): don't fold int<->ptr cast into load

[Nikita Popov via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

nikic added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Transforms/InstCombine/InstCombineLoadStoreAlloca.cpp:560
   // Fold away bit casts of the loaded value by loading the desired type.
-  // We can do this for BitCastInsts as well as casts from and to pointer types,
-  // as long as those are noops (i.e., the source or dest type have the same
-  // bitwidth as the target's pointers).
+  // Note that we should not do this for pointer<->integer casts!

----------------
You might want to be a tad more explicit here, e.g. add "because they have different provenance" or so.
