[SimplifyLibCalls] Tranform log(pow(x, y)) -> y*log(x).
This one is enabled only under -ffast-math. There are cases where the difference between the value computed and the correct value is huge even for ffast-math, e.g. as Steven pointed out: x = -1, y = -4 log(pow(-1), 4) = 0 4*log(-1) = NaN I checked what GCC does and apparently they do the same optimization (which result in the dramatic difference). Future work might try to make this (slightly) less worse. Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D14400 llvm-svn: 254263
