      Add the ability to compute trip counts that are only controlled by constants · 4021d1af

      even if the loop is using expressions that we can't compute as a closed-form.
This allows us to calculate that this function always returns 55:

int test() {
  double X;
  int Count = 0;
  for (X = 100; X > 1; X = sqrt(X), ++Count)
    /*empty*/;
  return Count;
}

And allows us to compute trip counts for loops like:

        int h = 1;
         do h = 3 * h + 1; while (h <= 256);

(which occurs in bzip2), and for this function, which occurs after inlining
and other optimizations:

int popcount()
{
   int x = 666;
  int result = 0;
  while (x != 0) {
    result = result + (x & 0x1);
    x = x >> 1;
  }
  return result;
}

We still cannot compute the exit values of result or h in the two loops above,
which means we cannot delete the loop, but we are getting closer.  Being able to
compute a constant trip count for these two loops will allow us to unroll them
completely though.

      Fix a HUGE pessimization on X86. The indvars pass was taking this · 1e9ac1a4
      Chris Lattner authored 
      (familiar) function:

int _strlen(const char *str) {
    int len = 0;
    while (*str++) len++;
    return len;
}

And transforming it to use a ulong induction variable, because the type of
the pointer index was left as a constant long.  This is obviously very bad.

The fix is to shrink long constants in getelementptr instructions to intptr_t,
making the indvars pass insert a uint induction variable, which is much more
efficient.

Here's the before code for this function:

int %_strlen(sbyte* %str) {
entry:
        %tmp.13 = load sbyte* %str              ; <sbyte> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.24 = seteq sbyte %tmp.13, 0                ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        br bool %tmp.24, label %loopexit, label %no_exit

no_exit:                ; preds = %entry, %no_exit
***     %indvar = phi uint [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]            ; <uint> [#uses=2]
***     %indvar = phi ulong [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]           ; <ulong> [#uses=2]
        %indvar1 = cast ulong %indvar to uint           ; <uint> [#uses=1]
        %inc.02.sum = add uint %indvar1, 1              ; <uint> [#uses=1]
        %inc.0.0 = getelementptr sbyte* %str, uint %inc.02.sum          ; <sbyte*> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.1 = load sbyte* %inc.0.0           ; <sbyte> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.2 = seteq sbyte %tmp.1, 0          ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        %indvar.next = add ulong %indvar, 1             ; <ulong> [#uses=1]
        %indvar.next = add uint %indvar, 1              ; <uint> [#uses=1]
        br bool %tmp.2, label %loopexit.loopexit, label %no_exit

loopexit.loopexit:              ; preds = %no_exit
        %indvar = cast uint %indvar to int              ; <int> [#uses=1]
        %inc.1 = add int %indvar, 1             ; <int> [#uses=1]
        ret int %inc.1

loopexit:               ; preds = %entry
        ret int 0
}


Here's the after code:

int %_strlen(sbyte* %str) {
entry:
        %inc.02 = getelementptr sbyte* %str, uint 1             ; <sbyte*> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.13 = load sbyte* %str              ; <sbyte> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.24 = seteq sbyte %tmp.13, 0                ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        br bool %tmp.24, label %loopexit, label %no_exit

no_exit:                ; preds = %entry, %no_exit
***     %indvar = phi uint [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]            ; <uint> [#uses=3]
        %indvar = cast uint %indvar to int              ; <int> [#uses=1]
        %inc.0.0 = getelementptr sbyte* %inc.02, uint %indvar           ; <sbyte*> [#uses=1]
        %inc.1 = add int %indvar, 1             ; <int> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.1 = load sbyte* %inc.0.0           ; <sbyte> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.2 = seteq sbyte %tmp.1, 0          ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        %indvar.next = add uint %indvar, 1              ; <uint> [#uses=1]
        br bool %tmp.2, label %loopexit, label %no_exit

loopexit:               ; preds = %entry, %no_exit
        %len.0.1 = phi int [ 0, %entry ], [ %inc.1, %no_exit ]          ; <int> [#uses=1]
        ret int %len.0.1
