[llvm-dev] Preserving the type of structure

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

I don't have a lot more detail, sorry.

I will say: generally LLVM IR doesn't preserve this sort of information. If
you're building optimizations, please revisit the basis/premise of your
optimizations. If you're implementing source analysis tools - consider
doing that using Clang tooling and/or the Clang Static Analyzer.
