```suggestion
   if (!F->getReturnType()->isPointerTy()) return nullptr;

    Constant *UniformValue = nullptr;
    for (auto &BB : llvm::reverse(*F)) {
      if (auto *Ret = dyn_cast<ReturnInst>(BB.getTerminator())) {
        if (auto *Val = dyn_cast<GlobalVariable>(Ret->getReturnValue()) {
```

It should be clearer :)
