[LLVMdev] Semantics of noalias with vector of pointers?

[Dan Gohman]

Do you actually have a use case for such attributes, or are you just trying
all possible attributes on all possible types to see what breaks? ;-)

It would be theoretically possible to define semantics for signext/zerext
or even noalias for vectors. However it's not clear whether those are
really desirable without motivating use cases.
