[llvm-dev] GVN removing loads that are affected by call

Yes, this is for downstream/out of tree target so I'm not sure how you
could reproduce it either but I thought the IR might help a bit.

My guess is it's not a bug in GVN as much as an issue with the intrinsic
properties, or lack thereof. I put this in the first post but the Alias
Sets show:

AliasSet[0x75fbd0, 9] may alias, Mod/Ref   Pointers: (i8* %1, 8), (i16*
%arrayidx, 2), (i16* %arrayidx1, 2), (i16* %arrayidx5, 2), (i16* %19, 2),
(i16* %arrayidx6, 2), (i16* %arrayidx14, 2), (i16* %arrayidx19, 2)
    4 Unknown instructions: void <badref>, <4 x i16>* %6, <4 x i16>* %22,
void <badref>
