Why did you put this addPass outside of the if statement?
If we really want it outside, maybe put it before the comment, and add comment before it?

I added it outside because it helps in general, and I thought it's somewhat a big change for it to just change due to generic address space.
I moved it more to the top of the pipeline with a comment

Could you provide a test showing how it helps in general, it's not clear to me looking at the modified tests. test/LLVMIntrinsics/memcpy_from_constant.cl
even tends to say that it is not helping.

The LowerAddrSpaceCast pass obfuscates all intrinsics calls, so the rest of the llvm pipeline doesn't recognize them.
Additionally, lowering early might mean that the subsituted code has a chance of getting optimized more aggressively.
The tests fallout is:
test/CPlusPlus/issue-357.cl
The old testCopyInstance2 is now optimized out (it was copying uninitialized memory). The test now initializes the data before the copy.
test/LLVMIntrinsics/descend_into_array.cl
The PR results in some instructions being re-ordered.
test/LLVMIntrinsics/memcpy_from_constant.cl
This seems to be a minor regression.
Instead of:
the llvm ir before the producer is:
This seems to be due to the
HideConstantLoadsPass
/UnhideConstantLoadsPass
. Maybe it's too disruptive for the issue it was trying to fix? (#71)I will open an issue for this regression.
This closes #1350 and #1355
