Sanjay Patel 3d453ad711 [DAGCombine] (float)((int) f) --> ftrunc (PR36617)
This was originally committed at rL328921 and reverted at rL329920 to
investigate failures in Chrome. This time I've added to the ReleaseNotes
to warn users of the potential of exposing UB and let me repeat that
here for more exposure:

  Optimization of floating-point casts is improved. This may cause surprising
  results for code that is relying on undefined behavior. Code sanitizers can
  be used to detect affected patterns such as this:

    int main() {
      float x = 4294967296.0f;
      x = (float)((int)x);
      printf("junk in the ftrunc: %f\n", x);
      return 0;
    }

    $ clang -O1 ftrunc.c -fsanitize=undefined ; ./a.out
    ftrunc.c:5:15: runtime error: 4.29497e+09 is outside the range of 
                   representable values of type 'int'
    junk in the ftrunc: 0.000000


Original commit message:

fptosi / fptoui round towards zero, and that's the same behavior as ISD::FTRUNC,
so replace a pair of casts with the equivalent node. We don't have to account for
special cases (NaN, INF) because out-of-range casts are undefined.

LLVM Documentation
==================

LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <http://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.

If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-html
    $BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html

The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `http://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.

Manpage Output
===============

Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-man
    man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1

The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.

Checking links
==============

The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:

    cd docs/
    make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck

Doxygen page Output
==============

Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
    make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
    make doxygen-clang # for clang docs

It will generate html in
    
    <build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
    <build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
