[LLVMdev] Add assert in llvm::StroreInst::init and llvm::LoadInst::init

[Vladimir Merzliakov]

I'm make silly error (swap arguments in llvm::StroreInst constructor call:

llvm::Value* var = genExpr(bb,*varExpr,false);
llvm::Value* val = genExpr(bb,*valExpr,true );
llvm::StoreInst* lStore = new llvm::StoreInst(var,val,bb);

instead

assert(var && var->getType()->getTypeID()==llvm::Type::PointerTyID && "var
side isn't pointer type");
llvm::StoreInst* lStore = new llvm::StoreInst(val,var,bb);

For val with type T* and var with type T** error catched in verifier:

Stored value type does not match pointer operand type!
        store "Type10::Class1"** %result, "Type10::Class1"* %1
 "Type10::Class1"Broken module found, compilation aborted!


But if val type isn't pointer type error catched only deep in verifier code
with non helpful message:

Assertion failed: (isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible
type!"), function cast, file
/home/wanderer/pkg/build/llvm/src/llvm/include/Support/Casting.h, line 197.

I propose add assert

assert(Ptr && Ptr->getType()->getTypeID()==llvm::Type::PointerTyID && "Ptr
must have pointer type.")

in

llvm::StroreInst::init and llvm::LoadInst::init functions

This is requared including llvm/Type.h or moving init function definitions
to iMemory.cpp.

I don't known more acceptable variant and then sending as attachment both
versions: iMemory.patch1 and iMemory.patch2 .
