Reply To: LLVM and pointers

Yes others have had this problem too. We have a work-around that works for us on simple cases. Most of the trouble seemed to be in the back-end framework, so we have abandoned that (at unfortunate schedule cost) and are working direct from the IR from the middle-end. However, we are reasonably confident that there remain pointerhood-losing gotchas in passes that we haven’t exercised yet. We know that others are cleaning up the delinquent code, so it’s a race – do they get the holes filled before we fall into them?
