[llvm-dev] Disable combining of loads and stores in instcombine

[Neil Ryan via llvm-dev]

I’m writing a pass for some custom hardware — we’d like to split arrays across hardware elements; this doesn’t work if consecutive writes to characters get combined to a word.

For instance, if I have char A[4] and I write some static value to each element, these writes would be combined into a single 32-bit word write. I found this thread <http://llvm.1065342.n5.nabble.com/disabling-combining-load-stores-in-optimizer-td37560.html> from 2009 -- it seems like it wasn't possible then. Has anything changed since?
