[LibCallSimplifier] try harder to fold memcmp with constant arguments
Try to fold: memcmp(X, C, ConstantLength) == 0 --> load X == *C Without this change, we're unnecessarily checking the alignment of the constant data, so we miss the transform in the first 2 tests in the patch. I noted this shortcoming of LibCallSimpifier in one of the recent CGP memcmp expansion patches. This doesn't help the example in: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34032#c13 ...directly, but it's worth short-circuiting more of these simple cases since we're already trying to do that. The benefit of transforming to load+cmp is that existing IR analysis/transforms may further simplify that code. For example, if the load of the variable is common to multiple memcmp calls, CSE can remove the duplicate instructions. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D36922 llvm-svn: 311333
