In that scalar case, the Init should initialize the auto var before use. The Init might use uninitialized memory from other sources (e.g., heap) but auto-init did not help us in that case because the auto-init would have been overwritten by the Init before use.
For non-scalars e.g., classes, the Init expr might be a ctor call that leaves uninitialized members, so we leave the auto-init there.
The motivation is to have less IR for the optimizer to later remove, which may not be until a fairly late pass (DSE) or may not get optimized in lower optimization levels like O1 (no DSE) or sometimes due to derefinement.
This is ~10% less left-over auto-init in O1 in a few examples checked.
Add a clang flag, "-ftrivial-auto-var-init-max-size=" so that clang
skips auto-init a variable if the auto-init memset size exceeds the flag
setting (in bytes). Note that this skipping doesn't apply to
runtime-sized variables like VLA.
Considerations: "__attribute__((uninitialized))" can be used to manually
opt variables out. However, there are thousands of large variables
(e.g., >=1KB, most of them are arrays and used as buffers) in big
codebase. Manually opting them out one by one is not efficient.
