If inserting more than one constant into a vector:
define <4 x float> @foo(<4 x float> %x) {
%ins1 = insertelement <4 x float> %x, float 1.0, i32 1
%ins2 = insertelement <4 x float> %ins1, float 2.0, i32 2
ret <4 x float> %ins2
}
InstCombine could reduce that to a shufflevector:
define <4 x float> @goo(<4 x float> %x) {
%shuf = shufflevector <4 x float> %x, <4 x float> <float undef, float 1.0, float 2.0, float undef>, <4 x i32><i32 0, i32 5, i32 6, i32 3>
ret <4 x float> %shuf
}
Also, InstCombine tries to convert shuffle instruction to single insertelement, if one of the vectors is a constant vector and only a single element from this constant should be used in shuffle, i.e.
shufflevector <4 x float> %v, <4 x float> <float undef, float 1.0, float
undef, float undef>, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 5, i32 undef, i32 undef> ->
insertelement <4 x float> %v, float 1.0, 1

The motivating case occurs with SSE/AVX scalar intrinsics, so this is a first step towards
shrinking that to a single shufflevector.
Note that the transform is intentionally limited to shuffles that are equivalent to vector
selects to avoid creating arbitrary shuffle masks that may not lower well.
