[opaque pointer types] [NFC] GEP: replace get(Pointer)ElementType uses with get{Source,Result}ElementType.
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

GEPOperator: provide getResultElementType alongside getSourceElementType.
This is made possible by adding a result element type field to GetElementPtrConstantExpr, which GetElementPtrInst already has.

GEP: replace get(Pointer)ElementType uses with get{Source,Result}ElementType.

Simplified the first commit and took out the second one to shorten this revision.

Remove change that depends on other patches (and does nullptr deref right now).

You could move this variable closer to its only consumer or even inline it.

Please add a comment why this is correct here, i.e. that Ty can be a pointer type only on the first iteration.

Same here.

Maybe this code was wrong, because Ptr->getScalarType() returns Ptr in any case. However I couldn't find a way to trigger a bug. I'll investigate this. Your changes look OK.

You should mention in the commit message that you add a field to this class.

Please add a comment - same as above.

Can we use getResultElementType() here?

I think CurTy is implied by J > 1. IMHO the extra check creates confusion.

If Ops were to have all of GEPI's indices, then if (Idx == GEPI->getNumOperands()) return false; above would've handled it (by returning out of this function).
In other words, AllocTy will always stop short of the ResultElementType, as less indices will be applied.

I think this variable should be inlined to its only user.

This seems like a slightly indirect test of the property you describe in the comment.

Do you think it might be nicer to check if the iterator is == I->op_begin() + 1? Or to add a flag of some kind before the loop for this first case? Or perhaps to use a gep type iterator in parallel with the operands? (or an assert for any of these conditions)

Not necessary, just throwing some ideas around in case any of them seem like an improvement.

Same as above

(starting to see a pattern - perhaps there's a common API/abstraction we could use for these?)

I think I would use gep_type_iterator, but I would have to rewrite each of these loops (and maybe make gep_type_iterator nicer to use, with C++11 range-for sugar perhaps).

Although, now that I've gotten myself set with a fast rebase/rebuild cycle, it shouldn't be such an ordeal anymore, I might just try it out.
