instructions. It attempts to create high-level multi-operand GEPs,
though in cases where this isn't possible it falls back to casting
the pointer to i8* and emitting a GEP with that. Using GEP instructions
instead of ptrtoint+arithmetic+inttoptr helps pointer analyses that
don't use ScalarEvolution, such as BasicAliasAnalysis.
Also, make the AddrModeMatcher more aggressive in handling GEPs.
Previously it assumed that operand 0 of a GEP would require a register
in almost all cases. It now does extra checking and can do more
matching if operand 0 of the GEP is foldable. This fixes a problem
that was exposed by SCEVExpander using GEPs.

and generalize it so that it can be used by IndVarSimplify. Implement the
base IndVarSimplify transformation code using IVUsers. This removes
TestOrigIVForWrap and associated code, as ScalarEvolution now has enough
builtin overflow detection and folding logic to handle all the same cases,
and more. Run "opt -iv-users -analyze -disable-output" on your favorite
loop for an example of what IVUsers does.
This lets IndVarSimplify eliminate IV casts and compute trip counts in
more cases. Also, this happens to finally fix the remaining testcases
in PR1301.
Now that IndVarSimplify is being more aggressive, it occasionally runs
into the problem where ScalarEvolutionExpander's code for avoiding
duplicate expansions makes it difficult to ensure that all expanded
instructions dominate all the instructions that will use them. As a
temporary measure, IndVarSimplify now uses a FixUsesBeforeDefs function
to fix up instructions inserted by SCEVExpander. Fortunately, this code
is contained, and can be easily removed once a more comprehensive
solution is available.
