That's correct. I'll think about how to resolve that as well. > If you refactor `const void* Data` to be a `llvm::PointerUnion`, then it will > be picked up automatically (`PointerUnion` is a popular type, so I've already > written a formatter for it.)

I've considered this but I found the number of alternatives too large to make it feasible. Consider that we have 11 possible SValKinds, which would require 4 bits to encode. Requiring all `Data` pointers to be aligned as such seems rough - although not impossible. > That said, debugger-friendliness is probably not among top priorities, so I'm > not going to block this patch, if this is the direction you and reviewers > want to take. I'd say it's one baby step in that direction, but not the end of the journey. How about looking at this like that? https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/71039 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
