This isn't purely a nice to have optimisation aid though, is it? There are cases where you need a safe (portable?) default that the target can perhaps optimise, but, absent that, would at least work, and at the moment there's no handy way to query that generically (or from Clang). We do handwave 0 as being that safe default, and hope for the best, but as mentioned that relies on targets using 0 to correspond to flat/generic/whatever we call it, which they are not bound to do. To me, adding this is not entirely different from encoding the Alloca AS, which we already do. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/108786 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
