Add support for combining GEPs across PHI nodes
Currently LLVM will generally merge GEPs. This allows backends to use more complex addressing modes. In some cases this is not happening because there is PHI inbetween the two GEPs: GEP1--\ |-->PHI1-->GEP3 GEP2--/ This patch checks to see if GEP1 and GEP2 are similiar enough that they can be cloned (GEP12) in GEP3's BB, allowing GEP->GEP merging (GEP123): GEP1--\ --\ --\ |-->PHI1-->GEP3 ==> |-->PHI2->GEP12->GEP3 == > |-->PHI2->GEP123 GEP2--/ --/ --/ This also breaks certain use chains that are preventing GEP->GEP merges that the the existing instcombine would merge otherwise. Tests included. llvm-svn: 209755
