[llvm-dev] pointer arithmetic with address space attribute not working

[Y Song via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I have a case that for pointer with address space attribute, pointer
arithmetic is not work.

For example,
-bash-4.4$ cat test.c
#define __user __attribute__((address_space(1)))
void __user * test(void __user *arg) {
#ifdef ADD
  return arg + 4;
#else
  return arg;
#endif
}
-bash-4.4$

-bash-4.4$ clang -g -c test.c
-bash-4.4$ clang -g -c -DADD test.c
clang-10: ../lib/IR/Instructions.cpp:2749: static llvm::CastInst
*llvm::CastInst::Create(Instruction::CastOps, llvm::Value *,
llvm::Type *, const llvm::Twine
&, llvm::Instruction *): Assertion `castIsValid(op, S, Ty) && "Invalid
cast!"' failed.

For pointer arithmetic failure, the clang tries to create a regular
pointer and failed since non-None address space is specified in the
type.

Is this a bug? Or this is the expected behavior? I am asking since
linux kernel has a lot of codes which did pointer arithmetic where
pointers have address space attributes. (currently those address
spaces are sparse tool checking only.)

Thanks,

Yonghong
