Implement rdar://7860110 (also in target/readme.txt) narrowing
a load/or/and/store sequence into a narrower store when it is safe. Daniel tells me that clang will start producing this sort of thing with bitfields, and this does trigger a few dozen times on 176.gcc produced by llvm-gcc even now. This compiles code like CodeGen/X86/2009-05-28-DAGCombineCrash.ll into: movl %eax, 36(%rdi) instead of: movl $4294967295, %eax ## imm = 0xFFFFFFFF andq 32(%rdi), %rax shlq $32, %rcx addq %rax, %rcx movq %rcx, 32(%rdi) and each of the testcases into a single store. Each of them used to compile into craziness like this: _test4: movl $65535, %eax ## imm = 0xFFFF andl (%rdi), %eax shll $16, %esi addl %eax, %esi movl %esi, (%rdi) ret llvm-svn: 101343
