The simplifications performed here never create new instructions, they only return existing instructions (or a constant), and so are always a win. In theory they should transform (for example) %z = and i32 %x, %y %s = select i1 %cond, i32 %y, i32 %z %r = and i32 %x, %s into %r = and i32 %x, y but in practice they get into a fight with instcombine, and lose. Unfortunately instcombine does a poor job in this case. Nonetheless I'm committing this transform to make it easier to discuss what to do to make peace with instcombine. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@118679 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Analysis Opportunities:
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:
{1,+,3,+,2}<loop>
Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as
(-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))
In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,
ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:
((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))
This could be folded to
(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
