While it does indeed help with generating better code, using this option while compiling CUDA code may be problematic. Front-end is not aware of address spaces and all pointers are generic, so `sizeof(any pointer) == 8`. If we enable short pointers, then, after inferring AS some pointers become 32-bit and this discrepancy may lead to interesting bugs. IMO short pointers are currently are only safe to use on IR level. You *may* get by using them from CUDA, but I do not think that enabling them by default is a good idea. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/111682 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
