If a reduction Phi has a single user which `AND`s the Phi with a type mask,
`lookThroughAnd` will return the user of the Phi and the narrower type represented
by the mask. Currently this is only used for arithmetic reductions, whereas loops
containing logical reductions will create a reduction intrinsic using the widened
type, for example:
for.body:
%phi = phi i32 [ %and, %for.body ], [ 255, %entry ]
%mask = and i32 %phi, 255
%gep = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %ptr, i32 %iv
%load = load i8, i8* %gep
%ext = zext i8 %load to i32
%and = and i32 %mask, %ext
...
^ this will generate an and reduction intrinsic such as the following:
call i32 @llvm.vector.reduce.and.v8i32(<8 x i32>...)
The same example for an add instruction would create an intrinsic of type i8:
call i8 @llvm.vector.reduce.add.v8i8(<8 x i8>...)
This patch changes AddReductionVar to call lookThroughAnd for other integer
reductions, allowing loops similar to the example above with reductions such
as and, or & xor to vectorize.
