Hi ,

I would like to ask for your support cause I am getting an error I have never seen before.

My code…

```julia

using Plots
gr()

xs = [string("x", i) for i = 1:10]
ys = [string("y", i) for i = 1:4]
z = float((1:4) * reshape(1:10, 1, :))
heatmap(xs, ys, z, aspect_ratio = 1)

```

I obtain this error

```julia
Illegal inttoptr
      %33 = ptrtoint double addrspace(13)* %32 to i64
Illegal inttoptr
      %52 = inttoptr i64 %51 to i8 addrspace(13)*

What is this ?  
How do I fix it ?

Thank you

what is your Plots version and Julia version? this code runs fine in my environment

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/b/b/bb5e9b45f13b252e4a5a610c897ed8f49c2c340e.png)

```julia

@jling I installed Plot last version by

```julia
pkg> add Plots#master

```

And I got

```julia
Pkg.installed()

 "Plots" => v"1.5.9"

```

But I get an error, something quite similar

```julia

      %33 = ptrtoint double addrspace(13)* %32 to i64
Illegal inttoptr
      %52 = inttoptr i64 %51 to i8 addrspace(13)*

try Julia 1.5 then, this indeed looks very weird, you may want to open and issue on github

Thank you very much @jling  
I am afraid I do not know how open an issue, but I would it if you think it may be of benefit

Julia 1.5 solved the situation
