Then I don't understand. If __private is always the alloca address space, why
does IRGen have to add addrspace casts after allocating local variables in it?
IRGen's invariant is that the value stored in LocalDeclMap for a variable of
AST type T is a value of type [[T]] addrspace([[AS]]) *, where [[T]] is the
lowered IR type for T and [[AS]] is the target address space of the variable.
For auto variables, AS is always LangAS::Default, which according to you means
that [[AS]] is always LLVM's notion of the alloca address space, which is
exactly the type produced by alloca. So why is there ever a cast?
My understanding was that, on your target, __private is (at least sometimes) a
64-bit extension of the alloca address space, which is 32-bit. But that makes
__private a different address space from the alloca address space, so the
special case in getTargetAddressSpace is still wrong, because that special case
means that a pointer-to-__private type will be lowered to be a 32-bit pointer
type.
Also, I'm not sure why the normal AddrSpaceMap mechanism isn't sufficient for
mapping LangAS::Default.
