     10 // When a load/store accesses the generic address space, checks whether the
     11 // address is casted from a non-generic address space. If so, remove this
     12 // addrspacecast because accessing non-generic address spaces is typically
     13 // faster. Besides seeking addrspacecasts, this optimization also traces into
     14 // the base pointer of a GEP.
     15 //
     16 // For instance, the code below loads a float from an array allocated in
     17 // addrspace(3).
     18 //
     19 // %0 = addrspacecast [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a to [10 x float]*
     20 // %1 = gep [10 x float]* %0, i64 0, i64 %i
     21 // %2 = load float* %1 ; emits ld.f32
     22 //
     23 // First, function hoistAddrSpaceCastFromGEP reorders the addrspacecast
     24 // and the GEP to expose more optimization opportunities to function
     25 // optimizeMemoryInst. The intermediate code looks like:
     26 //
     27 // %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
     28 // %1 = addrspacecast float addrspace(3)* %0 to float*
     29 // %2 = load float* %1 ; still emits ld.f32, but will be optimized shortly
     30 //
     31 // Then, function optimizeMemoryInstruction detects a load from addrspacecast'ed
     32 // generic pointers, and folds the load and the addrspacecast into a load from
     33 // the original address space. The final code looks like:
     34 //
     35 // %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
     36 // %2 = load float addrspace(3)* %0 ; emits ld.shared.f32
     37 //
     38 // This pass may remove an addrspacecast in a different BB. Therefore, we
     39 // implement it as a FunctionPass.
