This patch canonicalizes getelementptr instructions with constant
indices to use the `i8` source element type. This makes it easier for
optimizations to recognize that two GEPs are identical, because they
don't need to see past many different ways to express the same offset.
This is a first step towards
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-replacing-getelementptr-with-ptradd/68699.
This is limited to constant GEPs only for now, as they have a clear
canonical form, while we're not yet sure how exactly to deal with
variable indices.
The test llvm/test/Transforms/PhaseOrdering/switch_with_geps.ll gives
two representative examples of the kind of optimization improvement we
expect from this change. In the first test SimplifyCFG can now realize
that all switch branches are actually the same. In the second test it
can convert it into simple arithmetic. These are representative of
common optimization failures we see in Rust.
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/69841.
Due to an improvement to name preservation, a lot of InstCombine
tests now show spurious diffs when regenerated.
Rather than regenerating individual files when they get touched,
mass-regenerate all UTC-based InstCombine tests. I have then reset
a number of files showing suspicious diffs where the UTC output
has clearly been manually adjusted. I apologize if I missed
anything in the mass of changes.
The two debuginfo tests go away because the relevant transforms
no longer occur in this form, e.g. the "cast of alloca" transform
just doesn't exist with opaque pointers.
IR is now always parsed in opaque pointer mode, unless
-opaque-pointers=0 is explicitly given. There is no automatic
detection of typed pointers anymore.
The -opaque-pointers=0 option is added to any remaining IR tests
that haven't been migrated yet.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Eliminate inttype phi with inttoptr/ptrtoint.
This version fixed a bug in finding the matching
phi -- the order of the incoming blocks may be
different (triggered in self build on Windows).
A new test case is added.

This appears to be miscompiling Clang, as shown on two Windows bootstrap
bots:
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-x86-windows-msvc2015/builds/7611http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-x64-ninja-win7/builds/6870
Nothing else is in the blame list. Both emit errors on this valid code
in the Windows ucrt headers:
C:\...\ucrt\malloc.h:95:32: error: invalid operands to binary expression ('char *' and 'int')
_Ptr = (char*)_Ptr + _ALLOCA_S_MARKER_SIZE;
~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am attempting to reproduce this now.
This reverts r315044
llvm-svn: 315108
And follow-up r314585.
Leads to segfaults. I'll forward reproduction instructions to the patch
author.
Also, for a recommit, still add the original patch description.
Otherwise, it becomes really tedious to find out what a patch actually
does. The fact that it is a recommit with a fix is somewhat secondary.

This patch will eliminate redundant intptr/ptrtoint that pessimizes
analyses such as SCEV, AA and will make optimization passes such
as auto-vectorization more powerful.
