Tobias Grosser 8d4cb1a060 ScopInfo: Do not derive assumptions from all GEP pointer instructions
... but instead rely on the assumptions that we derive for load/store
instructions.

Before we were able to delinearize arrays, we used GEP pointer instructions
to derive information about the likely range of induction variables, which
gave us more freedom during loop scheduling. Today, this is not needed
any more as we delinearize multi-dimensional memory accesses and as part
of this process also "assume" that all accesses to these arrays remain
inbounds. The old derive-assumptions-from-GEP code has consequently become
mostly redundant. We drop it both to clean up our code, but also to improve
compile time. This change reduces the scop construction time for 3mm in
no-asserts mode on my machine from 48 to 37 ms.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
