GetPointerBaseWithConstantOffset include this code, where ByteOffset
and GEPOffset are both of type llvm::APInt :
ByteOffset += GEPOffset.getSExtValue();
The problem with this line is that getSExtValue() returns an int64_t, but
the += matches an overload for uint64_t. The problem is that the resulting
APInt is no longer considered to be signed. That in turn causes assertion
failures later on if the relevant pointer type is > 64 bits in width and
the GEPOffset was negative.
Changing it to
ByteOffset += GEPOffset.sextOrTrunc(ByteOffset.getBitWidth());
resolves the issue and explicitly performs the sign-extending
or truncation. Additionally, instead of asserting later if the result
is > 64 bits, it breaks out of the loop in that case.
