[docs] Make it clear shifts yield poison when shift amount >= bitwidth
Some InstCombine optimizations already rely on the result being poison rather than undef. For example, the following rewrite is wrong if undef is used: ; (1 << Y) * X -> X << Y %Op0 = shl 1, %Y %r = mul %Op0, %Op1 => %r = shl %Op1, %Y ERROR: Mismatch in values for i4 %r Example: i4 %Y = 0x8 (8, -8) i4 %Op0 = 0x0 (0) i4 %Op1 = 0x0 (0) source: 0x0 (0) target: 0x1 (1) The optimization is correct if poison is returned instead: http://rise4fun.com/Alive/ygX Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D33654 llvm-svn: 304780
