Summary:
gep 0, 0 is equivalent to bitcast. LLVM canonicalizes it
to getelementptr because it make SROA can then handle it.
Simple case like
void g(A &a) {
z(a);
if (glob)
a.foo();
}
void testG() {
A a;
g(a);
}
was not devirtualized with -fstrict-vtable-pointers because luck of
handling for gep 0 in Memory Dependence Analysis

The most important part required to make clang
devirtualization works ( ͡°͜ʖ ͡°).
The code is able to find non local dependencies, but unfortunatelly
because the caller can only handle local dependencies, I had to add
some restrictions to look for dependencies only in the same BB.
