• Explanation: We emit the wrong alignment attribute for indirect by value parameters in C functions called from Swift. This gets exposed by the merge function pass which merges functions and notices mismatching alignments. But it has correctness implications if the LLVM backend relies on the alignment for optimization or code emission.
• Scope of Issue: Correctness and crash
• Origination: I believe this issue has always been there
• Risk: Low. The IR generator now emits the proper alignment attribute on the function call and the alloca instruction that it generates for the indirect parameter passing.
