During the SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP pass, signed extensions are distributed
to the values that feed into them and then later recombined. The recombination
stage is somewhat problematic- it doesn't differ add and sub instructions
from another when matching the sext(a) +/- sext(b) -> sext(a +/- b) pattern
in some instances.
An example- the IR contains:
%unextendedA
%unextendedB
%subuAuB = unextendedA - unextendedB
%extA = extend A
%extB = extend B
%addeAeB = extA + extB
The problematic optimization will transform that into:
%unextendedA
%unextendedB
%subuAuB = unextendedA - unextendedB
%extA = extend A
%extB = extend B
%addeAeB = extend subuAuB ; Obviously not semantically equivalent to the IR input.
This patch fixes that.
