up to where it actually works as intended. The problem is that a GlobalAlias isa GlobalValue and so the prior block handled all of the cases. This allows us to constant fold based on the actual constant expression in the global alias. As an example, see the last function in the newly added test case which explicitly aligns an unaligned pointer using constant expression math. Without this change, we fail to see that and fold an alignment test to zero. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@220164 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:
{1,+,3,+,2}<loop>
Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as
(-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))
In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,
ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:
((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))
This could be folded to
(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
