When we collect base values for the isl expression builder two corner
cases where not implemented before:
1) The memory access base value is invariant but still a load inside
the region. These invariant loads are allowed in ScopDetection
but need to be copied or moved if we want to use the loaded
pointer value for e.g., runtime alias checks. We now move the
load to the region entering block, basically licm for these kind
of instructions.
2) The IslExprBuilder doesn't know about types but assumes the value
and the offset is in the unit of the base pointers type (or
better the base pointers element type). This wasn't ensured
before in case the base pointer was e.g., a struct pointer type.
However, the offset provided by ScalarEvolution is already in the
correct unit (the memory access element type). We now cast the
base pointer into a pointer to the memory access element type.
Test cases for both situations are added and existing test cases
adjusted to the new type casting.Details

This doesn't fix anything it just hides the problems better or replaces them with others.
