Nick Lewycky 42e72ca3d0 Add C++ global operator {new,new[],delete,delete[]}(unsigned {int,long}) to the
memory builtins as equivalent to malloc/free.

This is different from any attribute we have. For example, you can delete the
allocators when their result is unused, but you can't collapse two calls to the
same function, even if no global/memory state has changed in between. The
noalias return states that the result does not alias any other pointer, but
instcombine optimizes malloc() as though the result is non-null for the purpose
of eliminating unused pointers.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

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))
