[saethlin]

This issue is a bit old but I've now minimized the reproducer, it's in the description.

@cjgillot the assertion that's failing here looks to me like it is simply too picky, and it should be checking if the alignment of the allocation is >= the alignment of the type we're reading from it, instead of exactly equal. Do you agree that this is just a too-picky assertion?

[cjgillot]

I agree the assertion is just too picky. I expect the subtlety of needing to pass the larger alignment for the llvm constant.

[saethlin]

I expect the subtlety of needing to pass the larger alignment for the llvm constant.

I can't figure out what you mean here. What LLVM constant? Why is there subtelty? Maybe I just don't understand what's going on with GVN here, I'm assuming that GVN has merged two constants together so that we're now loading part of a more-aligned constant to get a less-aligned one. Is that wrong?

[cjgillot]

I mean, this is codegen code. It creates a constant for llvm. That constant has some alignment. We need to pick the right one, between the lhs and rhs of the assert.

[saethlin]

We need to pick the right one, between the lhs and rhs of the assert.

Where are we picking an alignment? Is it down here?

Where are we picking an alignment? Is it down here?

I don't really know.

TBH, the simplest solution is a codegen test, and check that the generated constant has the right over-alignment.
