05:33 <tankf33der> abu[m]: i asked Nikita (author llvm in 2022 year) about “opt -opaque-pointers” switch in CLI. There is his reply:

05:34 <tankf33der> I expect that "opt -opaque-pointers" will stop working in LLVM 17, because opaque pointers will always be enabled, so the option will go away. You'd get the same behavior using just "opt" at that point.

06:06 <aw-> Hi all, I archived https://github.com/picolisp/picolisp so it is now 'read-only' on GitHub

06:17 <abu[m]> tankf33der: Thank! So it is as I suspected :(

06:18 <abu[m]> aw-: Cool, thanks!

06:52 <tankf33der> abu[m]: i can read reply as opt will convert types anyway.

06:54 <abu[m]> You mean because of "you will get the same behavior"?

06:55 <tankf33der> Aha.

06:55 <abu[m]> Not sure. "opaque pointers will always be enabled"

06:56 <abu[m]> The question is if opt can still handle typed pointers

06:59 <tankf33der> handle or convert?

07:00 <abu[m]> both

07:00 <abu[m]> read typed pointers in IR

07:00 <abu[m]> then convert to .bc
