[PATCH] D130592: [IR] Move support for dxil::TypedPointerType to LLVM core IR.

[Chris Bieneman via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

beanz added a comment.

Just to add context. From the DXIL perspective, we don't really have dynamic linking. We will probably need to do something to preserve parameter types for static linking, but since static linking operates on IR, we can probably manage that without too much trouble.

The ins and outs of pointer type re-materialization is probably a bit out of scope for this review, but the DXIL pass is _way_ far from being production ready. It is really more of a proof-of-concept than anything else. I believe @jcranmer-intel, has a more comprehensive pass in development, and we'll hopefully converge to a single implementation. This change is part of making that possible by moving sharable logic into the IR library.
