[llvm-dev] Weird pointer alignment behavior on x86_32 - intentional or not?

[Karl Rehm via llvm-dev]

Update: This might be an issue with optimization ordering. Forcing
DAGCombiner::isAlias to return true (everything aliases) causes things to
go as expected. The difference in architectures is because the alignment on
other platforms is 4 bytes whereas on Windows it's 8, causing the alias
analysis to succeed on Windows but not on other platforms.
