[InstCombine] fold bitcasts around an extractelement (2nd try)
This is a redo of r255124 (reverted at r255126) with an added check for a scalar destination type and an added test for the failure seen in Clang's test/CodeGen/vector.c. The extra test shows a different missing optimization. Original commit message: Example: bitcast (extractelement (bitcast <2 x float> %X to <2 x i32>), 1) to float ---> extractelement <2 x float> %X, i32 1 This is part of fixing PR25543: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25543 The next step will be to generalize this fold: trunc ( lshr ( bitcast X) ) -> extractelement (X) Ie, I'm hoping to replace the existing transform of: bitcast ( trunc ( lshr ( bitcast X))) added by: http://reviews.llvm.org/rL112232 with 2 less specific transforms to catch the case in the bug report.
