Is there a recommendation for what to use instead for opaque pointers and more modern approaches?

elimPtrTo
is typically used in situations in which an explicitType
is needed, but the only way to retrieve theType
is by inspecting a pointer type. Because opaque pointers don't have pointee types, there is no directelimPtrTo
counterpart for opaque pointers. The modern approach would be to store the relevantType
information nearby so that it can always be retrieved independently of the pointer. There isn't an exact template that you can follow for this, but in the case of LLVM instructions, this is usually tantamount to having an extraType
field alongside theValue
representing the pointer.
