%V = mul i64 %N, 4
%t = getelementptr i8* bitcast (i32* %arr to i8*), i32 %V
into
%t1 = getelementptr i32* %arr, i32 %N
%t = bitcast i32* %t1 to i8*
incorporating the multiplication into the getelementptr.
This happens all the time in dragonegg, for example for
int foo(int *A, int N) {
return A[N];
}
because gcc turns this into byte pointer arithmetic before it hits the plugin:
D.1590_2 = (long unsigned int) N_1(D);
D.1591_3 = D.1590_2 * 4;
D.1592_5 = A_4(D) + D.1591_3;
D.1589_6 = *D.1592_5;
return D.1589_6;
The D.1592_5 line is a POINTER_PLUS_EXPR, which is turned into a getelementptr
on a bitcast of A_4 to i8*, so this becomes exactly the kind of IR that the
transform fires on.
An analogous transform (with no testcases!) already existed for bitcasts of
arrays, so I rewrote it to share code with this one.
