We can combne a mul with a div if one of the operands is a multiple of
the other:
%mul = mul nsw nuw %a, C1
%ret = udiv %mul, C2
=>
%ret = mul nsw %a, (C1 / C2)
This can expose further optimization opportunities if we end up
multiplying or dividing by a power of 2.
Consider this small example:
define i32 @f(i32 %a) {
%mul = mul nuw i32 %a, 14
%div = udiv exact i32 %mul, 7
ret i32 %div
}
which gets CodeGen'd to:
imull $14, %edi, %eax
imulq $613566757, %rax, %rcx
shrq $32, %rcx
subl %ecx, %eax
shrl %eax
addl %ecx, %eax
shrl $2, %eax
retq
We can now transform this into:
define i32 @f(i32 %a) {
%shl = shl nuw i32 %a, 1
ret i32 %shl
}
which gets CodeGen'd to:
leal (%rdi,%rdi), %eax
retq
This fixes PR20681.
