Matt Arsenault 841a0edd03 ConstantFolding: Constant fold some canonicalizes
+/-0 is obviously foldable. Other non-special, non-subnormal
values are also probably OK. For denormal values, check
the calling function's denormal mode. For now, don't fold
denormals to the input for IEEE mode because as far as I know
the langref is still pretending LLVM's float isn't IEEE.

Also folds undef to 0, although NaN may make more sense. Skips
folding nans and infinities, although it should be OK to fold those
in a future change.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
