[LLVMdev] "SrcValue is not a pointer?" assertion in SelectionDAG::getSrcValue

[ether zhhb]

hi sam,

i cant quite understand the follow code in SelectionDAG::getSrcValue
are not necessary:

assert((!V || isa<PointerType>(V->getType())) &&
         "SrcValue is not a pointer?");

why V must be a pointer?

thanks
