As discussed in post-commit review in https://reviews.llvm.org/D73501
if the goal of this is to help vectorizer, then we should actually
be teaching vectorizer to do this, because right now this rewrite
is still budget-limited, which isn't what we'd want.
Additionally, while the rest of the patch series was universally profitable,
this particular patch is reportedly (https://reviews.llvm.org/D73501#1905171)
exposing cost-modeling issues on ARM.
So let's just back this particular patch out. Once there's an undo transform,
this could be considered for reintegration.
This reverts commit 44edc6fd2c.
Summary:
Replacing uses of IV outside of the loop is likely generally useful,
but `rewriteLoopExitValues()` is cautious, and if it isn't told to always
perform the replacement, and there are hard uses of IV in loop,
it doesn't replace.
In [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44668 | PR44668 ]],
that prevents `-indvars` from replacing uses of induction variable
after the loop, which might be one of the optimization failures
preventing that code from being vectorized.
Instead, now that the cost model is fixed, i believe we should be
a little bit more optimistic, and also perform replacement
if we believe it is within our budget.
Fixes [[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44668 | PR44668 ]].
