[llvm-dev] cmpxchg on floats

[Alex Zinenko via llvm-dev]

Hi LLVM-dev,

when working on MLIR-to-LLVM-IR conversion, I noticed that it is possible
to programmatically construct a cmpxchg instruction operating on floats (or
actually any type since there is no assertion on pointer element type here
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/9c2e708f0dc547d386ea528450a33ef4bd2a750b/llvm/lib/IR/Instructions.cpp#L1501),
but LangRef specifies that only integers and pointers are accepted (
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#cmpxchg-instruction). Does somebody rely
on other types being accepted in cmpxchg or should we add an assertion for
the element type to match the LangRef?
