I have used that passes and in general programs they have some problems
with pointers.
What is really broken in my "flow" is the "m2c" pass of Machine-SUIF 2.




The "m2c" is unreliable when it comes to:
- long support (persists in converting them to int). But the long Opnd
type (u64, s64) is there so it would possible to fix.
- passing string arguments
- functions returning non-scalars
- structs (their handling my "m2c" in general is a mess.


"m2c" is a very minimal implementation of a C backend so it would be a
surprise if such things have been taken care of.
