stored rather than the pointer type.
This change is analogous to r220138 which changed the canonicalization
for loads. The rationale is the same: memory does not have a type,
operations (and thus the values they produce) have a type. We should
match that type as closely as possible rather than reading some form of
semantics into the pointer type.
With this change, loads and stores should no longer be made with
nonsensical types for the values that tehy load and store. This is
particularly important when trying to match specific loaded and stored
types in the process of doing other instcombines, which is what led me
down this twisty maze of miscanonicalization.
I've put quite some effort into looking through IR to find places where
LLVM's optimizer was being unreasonably conservative in the face of
mismatched load and store types, however it is possible (let's say,
likely!) I have missed some. If you see regressions here, or from
r220138, the likely cause is some part of LLVM failing to cope with load
and store types differing. Test cases appreciated, it is important that
we root all of these out of LLVM.

...)) and (load (cast ...)): canonicalize toward the former.
Historically, we've tried to load using the type of the *pointer*, and
tried to match that type as closely as possible removing as many pointer
casts as we could and trading them for bitcasts of the loaded value.
This is deeply and fundamentally wrong.
Repeat after me: memory does not have a type! This was a hard lesson for
me to learn working on SROA.
There is only one thing that should actually drive the type used for
a pointer, and that is the type which we need to use to load from that
pointer. Matching up pointer types to the loaded value types is very
useful because it minimizes the physical size of the IR required for
no-op casts. Similarly, the only thing that should drive the type used
for a loaded value is *how that value is used*! Again, this minimizes
casts. And in fact, the *only* thing motivating types in any part of
LLVM's IR are the types used by the operations in the IR. We should
match them as closely as possible.
I've ended up removing some tests here as they were testing bugs or
behavior that is no longer present. Mostly though, this is just cleanup
to let the tests continue to function as intended.
The only fallout I've found so far from this change was SROA and I have
fixed it to not be impeded by the different type of load. If you find
more places where this change causes optimizations not to fire, those
too are likely bugs where we are assuming that the type of pointers is
"significant" for optimization purposes.

This reverts commit r216698 which reverted r216523 and r216598.
We would attempt to perform the transformation even if the match()
failed because, as a side effect, it would set V. This would trick us
into believing that we correctly found a place to correctly apply the
transform.
An additional test case was added to getelementptr.ll so that we might
not regress in the future.

We try to perform this transform in InstSimplify but we aren't always
able to. Sometimes, we need to insert a bitcast if X and Y don't have
the same time.
llvm-svn: 216598
We supported transforming:
(gep i8* X, -(ptrtoint Y))
to:
(inttoptr (sub (ptrtoint X), (ptrtoint Y)))
However, this only fired if 'X' had type i8*. Generalize this to
support various types of different sizes. This results in much better
CodeGen, especially for pointers to packed structs.

The GEP pattern is what SCEV expander emits for "ugly geps". The latter is what
you get for pointer subtraction in C code. The rest of instcombine already
knows how to deal with that so just canonicalize on that.

Changing the sign when comparing the base pointer would introduce all
sorts of unexpected things like:
%gep.i = getelementptr inbounds [1 x i8]* %a, i32 0, i32 0
%gep2.i = getelementptr inbounds [1 x i8]* %b, i32 0, i32 0
%cmp.i = icmp ult i8* %gep.i, %gep2.i
%cmp.i1 = icmp ult [1 x i8]* %a, %b
%cmp = icmp ne i1 %cmp.i, %cmp.i1
ret i1 %cmp
into:
%cmp.i = icmp slt [1 x i8]* %a, %b
%cmp.i1 = icmp ult [1 x i8]* %a, %b
%cmp = xor i1 %cmp.i, %cmp.i1
ret i1 %cmp
By preserving the original sign, we now get:
ret i1 false
This fixes PR16483.

Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.

patch brings numerous advantages to LLVM. One way to look at it
is through diffstat:
109 files changed, 3005 insertions(+), 5906 deletions(-)
Removing almost 3K lines of code is a good thing. Other advantages
include:
1. Value::getType() is a simple load that can be CSE'd, not a mutating
union-find operation.
2. Types a uniqued and never move once created, defining away PATypeHolder.
3. Structs can be "named" now, and their name is part of the identity that
uniques them. This means that the compiler doesn't merge them structurally
which makes the IR much less confusing.
4. Now that there is no way to get a cycle in a type graph without a named
struct type, "upreferences" go away.
5. Type refinement is completely gone, which should make LTO much MUCH faster
in some common cases with C++ code.
6. Types are now generally immutable, so we can use "Type *" instead
"const Type *" everywhere.
Downsides of this patch are that it removes some functions from the C API,
so people using those will have to upgrade to (not yet added) new API.
"LLVM 3.0" is the right time to do this.
There are still some cleanups pending after this, this patch is large enough
as-is.

cases, and implement target-independent folding rules for alignof and
offsetof. Also, reassociate reassociative operators when it leads to
more folding.
Generalize ScalarEvolution's isOffsetOf to recognize offsetof on
arrays. Rename getAllocSizeExpr to getSizeOfExpr, and getFieldOffsetExpr
to getOffsetOfExpr, for consistency with analagous ConstantExpr routines.
Make the target-dependent folder promote GEP array indices to
pointer-sized integers, to make implicit casting explicit and exposed
to subsequent folding.
And add a bunch of testcases for this new functionality, and a bunch
of related existing functionality.

Also prematurely remove MallocInst handling from IndMemRemoval and RaiseAllocations to help pass tests in this incremental step.

how to fold notionally-out-of-bounds array getelementptr indices instead
of just doing these in lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp, because it can
be done in a fairly general way without TargetData, and because not all
constants are visited by lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp. This enables
more constant folding.
Also, set the "inbounds" flag when the getelementptr indices are
one-past-the-end.
