This patch updates ValueLattice to distinguish between ranges that are
guaranteed to not include undef and ranges that may include undef.
A constant range guaranteed to not contain undef can be used to simplify
instructions to arbitrary values. A constant range that may contain
undef can only be used to simplify to a constant. If the value can be
undef, it might take a value outside the range. For example, consider
the snipped below
define i32 @f(i32 %a, i1 %c) {
br i1 %c, label %true, label %false
true:
%a.255 = and i32 %a, 255
br label %exit
false:
br label %exit
exit:
%p = phi i32 [ %a.255, %true ], [ undef, %false ]
%f.1 = icmp eq i32 %p, 300
call void @use(i1 %f.1)
%res = and i32 %p, 255
ret i32 %res
}
In the exit block, %p would be a constant range [0, 256) including undef as
%p could be undef. We can use the range information to replace %f.1 with
false because we remove the compare, effectively forcing the use of the
constant to be != 300. We cannot replace %res with %p however, because
if %a would be undef %cond may be true but the second use might not be
< 256.
Currently LazyValueInfo uses the new behavior just when simplifying AND
instructions and does not distinguish between constant ranges with and
without undef otherwise. I think we should address the remaining issues
in LVI incrementally.
