I'm writing tests to get [thin]lto to support relative vtables (D134320 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D134320>). One of the recommendations for ensuring thinlto support was writing equivalent tests to `llvm/test/ThinLTO/X86/devirt.ll` but using the relative vtable layout which uses `dso_local_equivalent`, so I'm essentially reusing a lot of what's in that file for testing RV. That is, for each test case I see for a regular vtable I'll test for a relative vtable. It just so happens that test and a lot of the whole program devirtualization tests in general still use typed pointers.
