This intrinsic takes two arguments, ``%ptr`` and ``%offset``. It loads a 32-bit value from the address ``%ptr + %offset``, adds ``%ptr`` to that value and returns it. The constant folder specifically recognizes the form of this intrinsic and the constant initializers it may load from; if a loaded constant initializer is known to have the form ``i32 trunc(x - %ptr)``, the intrinsic call is folded to ``x``. LLVM provides that the calculation of such a constant initializer will not overflow at link time under the medium code model if ``x`` is an ``unnamed_addr`` function. However, it does not provide this guarantee for a constant initializer folded into a function body. This intrinsic can be used to avoid the possibility of overflows when loading from such a constant.
