           Summary: Structs by value break CBackend
           Product: clang
           Version: 2.8
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: LLVM Codegen
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

The clang front-end generates types like "i800" to represent a struct of size
100 bytes when that struct is passed by value.

struct foo {
  int x;
  char y;
 ...
};

  struct foo a;
...
  struct foo b;
  b = a; // generates iXXX type reference


This is a problem because the CBackend, for example, doesn't like non-native
integer types.
It ought to be able to generate a memcpy or similar instead.
