Allow folding several instructions into casts, which can simplify a lot
of codes. For example, short kernel (short t1) { t1 >>= 8; t1 <<= 8; return t1; } became: short %kernel(short %t1.1) { %tmp.3 = shr short %t1.1, ubyte 8 ; <short> [#uses=1] %tmp.5 = cast short %tmp.3 to int ; <int> [#uses=1] %tmp.7 = shl int %tmp.5, ubyte 8 ; <int> [#uses=1] %tmp.8 = cast int %tmp.7 to short ; <short> [#uses=1] ret short %tmp.8 } before, now it becomes: short %kernel(short %t1.1) { %tmp.3 = shr short %t1.1, ubyte 8 ; <short> [#uses=1] %tmp.8 = shl short %tmp.3, ubyte 8 ; <short> [#uses=1] ret short %tmp.8 } which will become: short %kernel(short %t1.1) { %tmp.3 = and short %t1.1, 0xFF00 ret short %tmp.3 } This implements cast-set.ll:test4 and test5 llvm-svn: 7290
