[LLVMdev] InstCombine "pessimizes" trunc i8 to i1?

[Gordon Keiser]

Clang does treat bools as i1 in the IR output if you include stdbool.   I had an issue a while back where I needed a function to return an i1 after compilation, and moving to Clang and including stdbool solved it (and it was Samuel who suggested it then as well,  so thanks again :-)  )

#include <stdbool.h> ?
