The code size cost model for most targets uses the legalization cost for the type of the pointer of a load. If this load is followed directly by a trunc instruction, and is the only use of the result of the load, only one instruction is generated in the target assembly language. This adds a check for this case, and uses the target type of the trunc instruction if so.
This did not show any changes in CTMark code size benchmarks.
