[complex] Teach the complex math IR gen to emit direct math and
a NaN-test prior to the call to the library function. This should automatically make fastmath (including just non-NaNs) able to avoid the expensive libcalls and also open the door to more advanced folding in LLVM based on the rules for complex math. Two important notes to remember: first is that this isn't yet a proper limited range mode, it's still just improving the unlimited range mode. Also, it isn't really perfecet w.r.t. what an unlimited range mode should be doing because it isn't quite handling the flags produced by all the operations in the way desirable for that mode, but then neither is compiler-rt's libcall. When the compiler-rt libcall is improved to carefully manage flags, the code emitted here should be improved correspondingly. And it is still a long-term desirable thing to add a limited range mode to Clang that would be able to use direct math without library calls here. Special thanks to Steve Canon for the careful review on this patch and teaching me about these issues. =D Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D5756 llvm-svn: 220167
