Here we make ScalarEvolution::isKnownPredicate, indirectly, a little smarter.
Given some relational comparison operator OP, and two AddRec SCEVs, {I,+,S} OP
{J,+,T}, we can reduce this to the comparison I OP J when S == T, both AddRecs
are for the same loop, and both are known not to wrap.
As it turns out, because of the way that backedge-guard expressions can be
leveraged when computing known predicates, this allows indvars to simplify the
if-statement comparison in this loop:
void foo (int *a, int *b, int n) {
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
if (i > n)
a[i] = b[i] + 1;
}
}
which, somewhat surprisingly, we were not previously optimizing away.
