The simplifier normalizes
reinterpret<i32>(u32)
(which has defined behavior) tocast<i32>(u32)
, which has undefined behavior. Currently, the following code produces inconsistent output:Output:
@abadams and I agreed to simply define
cast<i32>(u32)
to have the same 2's complement wrapping behavior asreinterpret<i32>(u32)
. I think the only place this behavior is encoded is in the simplifier (LLVM codegen produces a no-op for either case because LLVM types don't have signedness).Now the output of the above code is:
