by virtue of inbounds GEPs that preclude a null pointer.
This is a very common pattern in the code generated by std::vector and
other standard library routines which use allocators that test for null
pervasively. This is one step closer to teaching Clang+LLVM to be able
to produce an empty function for:
void f() {
std::vector<int> v;
v.push_back(1);
v.push_back(2);
v.push_back(3);
v.push_back(4);
}
Which is related to getting them to completely fold SmallVector
push_back sequences into constants when inlining and other optimizations
make that a possibility.
