Build lookup tables for switches (PR884)
This adds a transformation to SimplifyCFG that attemps to turn switch instructions into loads from lookup tables. It works on switches that are only used to initialize one or more phi nodes in a common successor basic block, for example: int f(int x) { switch (x) { case 0: return 5; case 1: return 4; case 2: return -2; case 5: return 7; case 6: return 9; default: return 42; } This speeds up the code by removing the hard-to-predict jump, and reduces code size by removing the code for the jump targets. llvm-svn: 163302
