In special cases select instructions can be eliminated by
replacing them with a cheaper bitwise operation even when the
select result is used outside its home block. The instances implemented
are patterns like
%x=icmp.eq
%y=select %x,%r, null
%z=icmp.eq|neq %y, null
br %z,true, false
==> %x=icmp.ne
%y=icmp.eq %r,null
%z=or %x,%y
br %z,true,false
The optimization is integrated into the instruction
combiner and performed only when all uses of the select result can
be replaced by the select operand proper. For this dominator information
is used and dominance is now a required analysis pass in the combiner.
The optimization itself is iterative. The critical step is to replace the
select result with the non-constant select operand. So the select becomes
local and the combiner iteratively works out simpler code pattern and
eventually eliminates the select.
