This patch enhances the optimization of memcmp calls when only two
outcomes
are needed and comparison fits into one block, for example:
bool result = memcmp(a, b, 6) > 0;
Previously, LLVM would generate unnecessary operations even when the
user of
memcmp was only interested in a binary outcome.
* Enhanced the logic of ExpandMemCmp pass to merge contiguous
subsequences
in LoadSequence, based on sizes allowed in `AllowedTailExpansions`.
* This enhancement seeks to minimize the number of basic blocks and
produce
optimized code when using memcmp with non-register aligned sizes.
* Enable this feature for AArch64 with memcmp sizes modulo 8 equal to
3, 5, and 6.
