[llvm-dev] Intrinsic opt failure

[Konstantin Vladimirov via llvm-dev]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for correction, I rewritten and debugged some code and
now everything works: I really should process calling convention in
argument lowering inside llvm backend, not in classifyArgumentType
inside ABIInfo inherited class in clang codegen. This is not at all
obvious: correcting arguments at early stages looks simpler, but leads
to tricky problems with high-level IR optimizations.

With best regards, Konstantin
