This will allow us to optimize code such as:
int f(int *p) {
int x;
return p == &x;
}
as well as:
int *allocate(void);
int f() {
int x;
int *p = allocate();
return p == &x;
}
The folding can only be done under certain circumstances. Even though p and &x
cannot alias, the comparison must still return true if the pointer
representations are equal. If a user successfully generates a p that's a
correct guess for &x, comparison should return true even though p is an invalid
pointer.
This patch argues that if the address of the alloca isn't observable outside the
function, the function can act as-if the address is impossible to guess from the
outside. The tricky part is keeping the act consistent: if we fold p == &x to
false in one place, we must make sure to fold any other comparisons based on
those pointers similarly. To ensure that, we only fold when &x is involved
exactly once in comparison instructions.

This is one step towards solving PR24766:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24766
We were not producing the same IR for these two C functions because the store
to the temp bool causes extra zexts:
#include <stdbool.h>
bool switchy(char x1, char x2, char condition) {
bool conditionMet = false;
switch (condition) {
case 0: conditionMet = (x1 == x2); break;
case 1: conditionMet = (x1 <= x2); break;
}
return conditionMet;
}
bool switchy2(char x1, char x2, char condition) {
switch (condition) {
case 0: return (x1 == x2);
case 1: return (x1 <= x2);
}
return false;
}
As noted in the code comments, this test case manages to avoid the more general existing
phi optimizations where there are only 2 phi inputs or where there are no constant phi
args mixed in with the casts ops. It seems like a corner case, but if we don't catch it,
then I don't think we can get SimplifyCFG to further optimize towards the canonical form
for this function shown in the bug report.

PR24605 is caused due to an incorrect insert point in instcombine's IR
builder. When simplifying
%t = add X Y
...
%m = icmp ... %t
the replacement for %t should be placed before %t, not before %m, as
there could be a use of %t between %t and %m.

Summary:
This patch adds an enum `OverflowCheckFlavor` and a function
`OptimizeOverflowCheck`. This will allow InstCombine to optimize
overflow checks without directly introducing an intermediate call to the
`llvm.$op.with.overflow` instrinsics.
This specific change is a refactoring and does not intend to change
behavior.

ReplaceInstUsesWith needs to return nullptr when the input has no users,
because in that case it does not mutate the program. Otherwise, we can
get stuck in an infinite loop of repeatedly attempting to constant fold
and instruction with no users.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

This case is interesting because ScalarEvolutionExpander lowers min(a,
b) as ~max(~a,~b). I think the profitability heuristics can be made
more clever/aggressive, but this is a start.

This is exciting as this is a much more involved port. This is
a complex, existing transformation pass. All of the core logic is shared
between both old and new pass managers. Only the access to the analyses
is separate because the actual techniques are separate. This also uses
a bunch of different and interesting analyses and is the first time
where we need to use an analysis across an IR layer.
This also paves the way to expose instcombine utility functions. I've
got a static function that implements the core pass logic over
a function which might be mildly interesting, but more interesting is
likely exposing a routine which just uses instructions *already in* the
worklist and combines until empty.
I've switched one of my favorite instcombine tests to run with both as
well to make sure this keeps working.

creating a non-internal header file for the InstCombine pass.
I thought about calling this InstCombiner.h or in some way more clearly
associating it with the InstCombiner clas that it is primarily defining,
but there are several other utility interfaces defined within this for
InstCombine. If, in the course of refactoring, those end up moving
elsewhere or going away, it might make more sense to make this the
combiner's header alone.
Naturally, this is a bikeshed to a certain degree, so feel free to lobby
for a different shade of paint if this name just doesn't suit you.
