[PATCH] D137066: [AMDGPU] Add amdgcn_s_buffer_load_imm intrinsic

[Piotr Sobczak via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

piotr added a comment.

Another problem with codegenprepare is that it does not understand our intrinsic, so it does not treat the i32 offset field as a part of address expression, or in any special way.

We do operate on loads with fat pointers in the (part of) front-end, but we convert them to intrinsics before entering codegen. The aspiration is to do the conversion later (or skip the intrinsics altogether) effectively adding support for fat pointers in the backend. But we are not there yet, and that would surely have some other issues, which we are not aware of yet.
