eba4f8a8ec0297d4adafb81b4c389cb01389828a Assertion in isAllocaPromotable due to extra bitcast goes into lifetime marker
For the given test SROA detects possible replacement and creates a correct alloca. After that SROA is adding lifetime markers for this new alloca. The function getNewAllocaSlicePtr is trying to deduce the pointer type based on the original alloca, which is split, to use it later in lifetime intrinsic.
For the test we ended up with such code (rA is initial alloca [10 x float], which is split, and rA.sroa.0.0 is a new split allocation)
```
%rA.sroa.0.0.rA.sroa_cast = bitcast i32* %rA.sroa.0 to [10 x float]* <----- this one causing the assertion and is an extra bitcast
%5 = bitcast [10 x float]* %rA.sroa.0.0.rA.sroa_cast to i8*
call void @llvm.lifetime.start.p0i8(i64 4, i8* %5)
```
isAllocaPromotable code assumes that a user of alloca may go into lifetime marker through bitcast but it must be the only one bitcast to i8* type. In the test it's not a i8* type, return false and throw the assertion.
As we are creating a pointer, which will be used in lifetime markers only, the proposed fix is to create a bitcast to i8* immediately to avoid extra bitcast creation.
The test is a greatly simplified to just reproduce the assertion.
