When the Attributor was created the test update scripts were not well
suited to deal with the challenges of IR attribute checking. This
partially improved.
Since then we also added three additional configurations that need
testing; in total we now have the following four:
{ TUNIT, CGSCC } x { old pass manager (OPM), new pass manager (NPM) }
Finally, the number of developers and tests grew rapidly (partially due
to the addition of ArgumentPromotion and IPConstantProp tests), which
resulted in tests only being run in some configurations, different
prefixes being used, and different "styles" of checks being used.
Due to the above reasons I believed we needed to take another look at
the test update scripts. While we started to use them, via UTC_ARGS:
--enable/disable, the other problems remained. To improve the testing
situation for *all* configurations, to simplify future updates to the
test, and to help identify subtle effects of future changes, we now use
the test update scripts for (almost) all Attributor tests.
An exhaustive prefix list minimizes the number of check lines and makes
it easy to identify and compare configurations.
Tests have been adjusted in the process but we tried to keep their
intend unchanged.

We are often interested in an assumed constant and sometimes it has to
be an integer constant. Before we only looked for the latter, now we can
ask for either.
We usually will ask for liveness of an argument anyway so we ended up
lazily creating the attribute anyway. However, that is not always the
case and even if it is we should go the eager route here. Various tests
show how this can improve the outcome. One test exposed a problem with
type mismatches between argument and call site argument, a fix is
included. For liveness various more tests were added as well.
If a function pointer is casted into a different type the resulting
expression can be a constant. If so, it can be used multiple times which
cannot be handled by the AbstractCallSite constructor alone. Instead, we
follow the cast expression uses now explicitly during the call site
traversal.
If we have a replacement for a value, via AAValueSimplify, the original
value will lose all its uses. Thus, as long as a value is simplified we
can skip the uses in checkForAllUses, given that these uses are
transitive uses for the simplified version and will therefore affect the
simplified version as necessary.
Since this allowed us to remove calls without side-effects and a known
return value, we need to make sure not to eliminate `musttail` calls.
Those we keep around, or later remove the entire `musttail` call chain.
The Attributor can, to some degree, do what IPConstantProp does. We can
consequently use the corner cases already collected and tested for in
the IPConstantProp tests to improve Attributor test coverage.
This exposed various bugs fixed in previous Attributor patches.
Not all functionality of IPConstantProp is available in AAValueSimplify
and AAIsDead so some tests show that we cannot perform the expected
constant propagation.
