+[PHI TRANSLATE GEPs]
+
+GCC PR37166: Sinking of loads prevents SROA'ing the "g" struct on the stack
+leading to excess stack traffic. This could be handled by GVN with some crazy
+symbolic phi translation. The code we get looks like (g is on the stack):
+
+bb2: ; preds = %bb1
+..
+ %9 = getelementptr %struct.f* %g, i32 0, i32 0
+ store i32 %8, i32* %9, align bel %bb3
+
+bb3: ; preds = %bb1, %bb2, %bb
+ %c_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %g, %bb2 ], [ %c, %bb ], [ %c, %bb1 ]
+ %b_addr.0 = phi %struct.f* [ %b, %bb2 ], [ %g, %bb ], [ %b, %bb1 ]
+ %10 = getelementptr %struct.f* %c_addr.0, i32 0, i32 0
+ %11 = load i32* %10, align 4
+
+%11 is fully redundant, an in BB2 it should have the value %8.
+
+GCC PR33344 is a similar case.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+There are many load PRE testcases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loadpre* in the
+GCC testsuite. There are many pre testcases as ssa-pre-*.c
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+There are some interesting cases in testsuite/gcc.dg/tree-ssa/pred-comm* in the
+GCC testsuite. For example, predcom-1.c is:
+
+ for (i = 2; i < 1000; i++)
+ fib[i] = (fib[i-1] + fib[i - 2]) & 0xffff;
+
+which compiles into:
+
+bb1: ; preds = %bb1, %bb1.thread
+ %indvar = phi i32 [ 0, %bb1.thread ], [ %0, %bb1 ]
+ %i.0.reg2mem.0 = add i32 %indvar, 2
+ %0 = add i32 %indvar, 1 ; <i32> [#uses=3]
+ %1 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %0
+ %2 = load i32* %1, align 4 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %3 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %indvar
+ %4 = load i32* %3, align 4 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %5 = add i32 %4, %2 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %6 = and i32 %5, 65535 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %7 = getelementptr [1000 x i32]* @fib, i32 0, i32 %i.0.reg2mem.0
+ store i32 %6, i32* %7, align 4
+ %exitcond = icmp eq i32 %0, 998 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ br i1 %exitcond, label %return, label %bb1
+
+This is basically:
+ LOAD fib[i+1]
+ LOAD fib[i]
+ STORE fib[i+2]
+
+instead of handling this as a loop or other xform, all we'd need to do is teach
+load PRE to phi translate the %0 add (i+1) into the predecessor as (i'+1+1) =
+(i'+2) (where i' is the previous iteration of i). This would find the store
+which feeds it.
+
+predcom-2.c is apparently the same as predcom-1.c
+predcom-3.c is very similar but needs loads feeding each other instead of
+store->load.
+predcom-4.c seems the same as the rest.
+
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+Other simple load PRE cases:
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35287 [LPRE crit edge splitting]
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34677 (licm does this, LPRE crit edge)

+
+Type based alias analysis:
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14705
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+When GVN/PRE finds a store of float* to a must aliases pointer when expecting
+an int*, it should turn it into a bitcast. This is a nice generalization of
+the SROA hack that would apply to other cases, e.g.:
+
+int foo(int C, int *P, float X) {
+ if (C) {
+ bar();
+ *P = 42;
+ } else
+ *(float*)P = X;
+
+ return *P;
+}
+
+
+One example (that requires crazy phi translation) is:
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16799 [BITCAST PHI TRANS]
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+A/B get pinned to the stack because we turn an if/then into a select instead
+of PRE'ing the load/store. This may be fixable in instcombine:
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37892
+
+
+
+Interesting missed case because of control flow flattening (should be 2 loads):
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26629
+With: llvm-gcc t2.c -S -o - -O0 -emit-llvm | llvm-as |
+ opt -mem2reg -gvn -instcombine | llvm-dis
+we miss it because we need 1) GEP PHI TRAN, 2) CRIT EDGE 3) MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
+VALS PRODUCED BY ONE BLOCK OVER DIFFERENT PATHS
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19633
+We could eliminate the branch condition here, loading from null is undefined:
+
+struct S { int w, x, y, z; };
+struct T { int r; struct S s; };
+void bar (struct S, int);
+void foo (int a, struct T b)
+{
+ struct S *c = 0;
+ if (a)
+ c = &b.s;
+ bar (*c, a);
+}
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+simplifylibcalls should do several optimizations for strspn/strcspn:
+
+strcspn(x, "") -> strlen(x)
+strcspn("", x) -> 0
+strspn("", x) -> 0
+strspn(x, "") -> strlen(x)
+strspn(x, "a") -> strchr(x, 'a')-x
+
+strcspn(x, "a") -> inlined loop for up to 3 letters (similarly for strspn):
+
+size_t __strcspn_c3 (__const char *__s, int __reject1, int __reject2,
+ int __reject3) {
+ register size_t __result = 0;
+ while (__s[__result] != '\0' && __s[__result] != __reject1 &&
+ __s[__result] != __reject2 && __s[__result] != __reject3)
+ ++__result;
+ return __result;
+}
+
+This should turn into a switch on the character. See PR3253 for some notes on
+codegen.
+
+456.hmmer apparently uses strcspn and strspn a lot. 471.omnetpp uses strspn.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+"gas" uses this idiom:
+ else if (strchr ("+-/*%|&^:[]()~", *intel_parser.op_string))
+..
+ else if (strchr ("<>", *intel_parser.op_string)
+
+Those should be turned into a switch.
+

+
+252.eon contains this interesting code:
+
+ %3072 = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 0
+ %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
+ %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072) ; uses = 1
+ %endptr = getelementptr [100 x i8]* %tempString, i32 0, i32 %strlen
+ call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(i8* %endptr,
+ i8* getelementptr ([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42", i32 0, i32 0), i32 5, i32 1)
+ %3074 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr) nounwind readonly
+
+This is interesting for a couple reasons. First, in this:
+
+ %3073 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %3072, i8* %3071) nounwind
+ %strlen = call i32 @strlen(i8* %3072)
+
+The strlen could be replaced with: %strlen = sub %3072, %3073, because the
+strcpy call returns a pointer to the end of the string. Based on that, the
+endptr GEP just becomes equal to 3073, which eliminates a strlen call and GEP.
+
+Second, the memcpy+strlen strlen can be replaced with:
+
+ %3074 = call i32 @strlen([5 x i8]* @"\01LC42") nounwind readonly
+
+Because the destination was just copied into the specified memory buffer. This,
+in turn, can be constant folded to "4".
+
+In other code, it contains:
+
+ %endptr6978 = bitcast i8* %endptr69 to i32*
+ store i32 7107374, i32* %endptr6978, align 1
+ %3167 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %endptr69) nounwind readonly
+
+Which could also be constant folded. Whatever is producing this should probably
+be fixed to leave this as a memcpy from a string.
+
+Further, eon also has an interesting partially redundant strlen call:
+
+bb8: ; preds = %_ZN18eonImageCalculatorC1Ev.exit
+ %682 = getelementptr i8** %argv, i32 6 ; <i8**> [#uses=2]
+ %683 = load i8** %682, align 4 ; <i8*> [#uses=4]
+ %684 = load i8* %683, align 1 ; <i8> [#uses=1]
+ %685 = icmp eq i8 %684, 0 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ br i1 %685, label %bb10, label %bb9
+
+bb9: ; preds = %bb8
+ %686 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly
+ %687 = icmp ugt i32 %686, 254 ; <i1> [#uses=1]
+ br i1 %687, label %bb10, label %bb11
+
+bb10: ; preds = %bb9, %bb8
+ %688 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %683) nounwind readonly
+
+This could be eliminated by doing the strlen once in bb8, saving code size and
+improving perf on the bb8->9->10 path.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+I see an interesting fully redundant call to strlen left in 186.crafty:InputMove
+which looks like:
+ %movetext11 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 0
+
+
+bb62: ; preds = %bb55, %bb53
+ %promote.0 = phi i32 [ %169, %bb55 ], [ 0, %bb53 ]
+ %171 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
+ %172 = add i32 %171, -1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+ %173 = getelementptr [128 x i8]* %movetext, i32 0, i32 %172
+
+... no stores ...
+ br i1 %or.cond, label %bb65, label %bb72
+
+bb65: ; preds = %bb62
+ store i8 0, i8* %173, align 1
+ br label %bb72
+
+bb72: ; preds = %bb65, %bb62
+ %trank.1 = phi i32 [ %176, %bb65 ], [ -1, %bb62 ]
+ %177 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %movetext11) nounwind readonly align 1
+
+Note that on the bb62->bb72 path, that the %177 strlen call is partially
+redundant with the %171 call. At worst, we could shove the %177 strlen call
+up into the bb65 block moving it out of the bb62->bb72 path. However, note
+that bb65 stores to the string, zeroing out the last byte. This means that on
+that path the value of %177 is actually just %171-1. A sub is cheaper than a
+strlen!
+
+This pattern repeats several times, basically doing:
+
+ A = strlen(P);
+ P[A-1] = 0;
+ B = strlen(P);
+ where it is "obvious" that B = A-1.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+186.crafty contains this interesting pattern:
+
+%77 = call i8* @strstr(i8* getelementptr ([6 x i8]* @"\01LC5", i32 0, i32 0),
+ i8* %30)
+%phitmp648 = icmp eq i8* %77, getelementptr ([6 x i8]* @"\01LC5", i32 0, i32 0)
+br i1 %phitmp648, label %bb70, label %bb76
+
+bb70: ; preds = %OptionMatch.exit91, %bb69
+ %78 = call i32 @strlen(i8* %30) nounwind readonly align 1 ; <i32> [#uses=1]
+
+This is basically:
+ cststr = "abcdef";
+ if (strstr(cststr, P) == cststr) {
+ x = strlen(P);
+ ...
+
+The strstr call would be significantly cheaper written as:
+
+cststr = "abcdef";
+if (memcmp(P, str, strlen(P)))
+ x = strlen(P);
+
+This is memcmp+strlen instead of strstr. This also makes the strlen fully
+redundant.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+186.crafty also contains this code:
+
+%1906 = call i32 @strlen(i8* getelementptr ([32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0,i32 0))
+%1907 = getelementptr [32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0, i32 %1906
+%1908 = call i8* @strcpy(i8* %1907, i8* %1905) nounwind align 1
+%1909 = call i32 @strlen(i8* getelementptr ([32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0,i32 0))
+%1910 = getelementptr [32 x i8]* @pgn_event, i32 0, i32 %1909
+
+The last strlen is computable as 1908-@pgn_event, which means 1910=1908.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+186.crafty has this interesting pattern with the "out.4543" variable:
+
+call void @llvm.memcpy.i32(
+ i8* getelementptr ([10 x i8]* @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0),
+ i8* getelementptr ([7 x i8]* @"\01LC28700", i32 0, i32 0), i32 7, i32 1)
+%101 = call@printf(i8* ... @out.4543, i32 0, i32 0)) nounwind
+
+It is basically doing:
+
+ memcpy(globalarray, "string");
+ printf(..., globalarray);
+
+Anyway, by knowing that printf just reads the memory and forward substituting
+the string directly into the printf, this eliminates reads from globalarray.
+Since this pattern occurs frequently in crafty (due to the "DisplayTime" and
+other similar functions) there are many stores to "out". Once all the printfs
+stop using "out", all that is left is the memcpy's into it. This should allow
+globalopt to remove the "stored only" global.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+This code:
+
+define inreg i32 @foo(i8* inreg %p) nounwind {
+ %tmp0 = load i8* %p
+ %tmp1 = ashr i8 %tmp0, 5
+ %tmp2 = sext i8 %tmp1 to i32
+ ret i32 %tmp2
+}
+
+could be dagcombine'd to a sign-extending load with a shift.
+For example, on x86 this currently gets this:
+
+ movb (%eax), %al
+ sarb $5, %al
+ movsbl %al, %eax
+
+while it could get this:
+
+ movsbl (%eax), %eax
+ sarl $5, %eax
