[Juneyoung Lee via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

aqjune added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/IR/IRBuilder.cpp:1021
   Value *Zeros = ConstantAggregateZero::get(VectorType::get(I32Ty, EC));
   return CreateShuffleVector(V, Undef, Zeros, Name + ".splat");
 }

If the relevant patches are to be landed at once, I think the series of patches are being too big to maintain... :(
I'd like to make shufflevector's placeholder as poison in another iteration.
