Before we had this code:
@_ZTVN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoE = external global ptr
now we'll produce:
@_ZTVN10__cxxabiv117__class_type_infoE = external global [0 x ptr]
This is because we may not know the exact size of this data, and clang issues gep inbounds with idx=2. Before, that gep would always result in poison.
