Just because we can constant fold the result of an instruction does not
imply that we can delete the instruction. It may have side effects.
This fixes PR28655.
llvm-svn: 276389
This patch adds optional fast-math-flags (the same that apply to fmul/fadd/fsub/fdiv/frem/fcmp)
to call instructions in IR. Follow-up patches would use these flags in LibCallSimplifier, add
support to clang, and extend FMF to the DAG for calls.
Motivating example:
%y = fmul fast float %x, %x
%z = tail call float @sqrtf(float %y)
We'd like to be able to optimize sqrt(x*x) into fabs(x). We do this today using a function-wide
attribute for unsafe-math, but we really want to trigger on the instructions themselves:
%z = tail call fast float @sqrtf(float %y)
because in an LTO build it's possible that calls with fast semantics have been inlined into a
function with non-fast semantics.
The code changes and tests are based on the recent commits that added "notail":

This one is enabled only under -ffast-math. There are cases where the
difference between the value computed and the correct value is huge
even for ffast-math, e.g. as Steven pointed out:
x = -1, y = -4
log(pow(-1), 4) = 0
4*log(-1) = NaN
I checked what GCC does and apparently they do the same optimization
(which result in the dramatic difference). Future work might try to
make this (slightly) less worse.
