      types in them.  Instead of creating an induction variable for all types, it
creates a single induction variable and casts to the other sizes.  This generates
this code:

no_exit:                ; preds = %entry, %no_exit
        %indvar = phi uint [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]            ; <uint> [#uses=4]
***     %j.0.0 = cast uint %indvar to short             ; <short> [#uses=1]
        %indvar = cast uint %indvar to int              ; <int> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.7 = getelementptr short* %P, uint %indvar          ; <short*> [#uses=1]
        store short %j.0.0, short* %tmp.7
        %inc.0 = add int %indvar, 1             ; <int> [#uses=2]
        %tmp.2 = setlt int %inc.0, %N           ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        %indvar.next = add uint %indvar, 1              ; <uint> [#uses=1]
        br bool %tmp.2, label %no_exit, label %loopexit

instead of:

no_exit:                ; preds = %entry, %no_exit
        %indvar = phi ushort [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]          ; <ushort> [#uses=2]
***     %indvar = phi uint [ %indvar.next, %no_exit ], [ 0, %entry ]            ; <uint> [#uses=3]
        %indvar = cast uint %indvar to int              ; <int> [#uses=1]
        %indvar = cast ushort %indvar to short          ; <short> [#uses=1]
        %tmp.7 = getelementptr short* %P, uint %indvar          ; <short*> [#uses=1]
        store short %indvar, short* %tmp.7
        %inc.0 = add int %indvar, 1             ; <int> [#uses=2]
        %tmp.2 = setlt int %inc.0, %N           ; <bool> [#uses=1]
        %indvar.next = add uint %indvar, 1
***     %indvar.next = add ushort %indvar, 1
        br bool %tmp.2, label %no_exit, label %loopexit

This is an improvement in register pressure, but probably doesn't happen that
often.

The more important fix will be to get rid of the redundant add.

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