Teach the dag combiner to turn a truncate/sign_extend pair into a sextinreg
when the types match up. This allows the X86 backend to compile: sbyte %toggle_value(sbyte* %tmp.1) { %tmp.2 = load sbyte* %tmp.1 ret sbyte %tmp.2 } to this: _toggle_value: mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4] movsx %EAX, BYTE PTR [%EAX] ret instead of this: _toggle_value: mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4] movsx %EAX, BYTE PTR [%EAX] movsx %EAX, %AL ret noticed in Shootout/objinst. -Chris llvm-svn: 24630
