IIUC you're suggesting movint the TBAA data origination from CodeGen into (probably) Sema and/or TargetInfo and then deriving the LLVM info in CodeGen from that. I.e. keep once source of truth, but move where it is? I don't think it'd be that hard -- mostly mechanical. And I suspect only the scalar TBAA needs so moving, the structure-related stuff is sufficiently different to that strict-aliasing wants. Although you don't explicitly say it, the implication is you'd be ameanable to such an approach? https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/74155 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
