If fast-math is set, then LLVM is free to do the following transformation pow(x, y) * pow(x, z) -> pow(x, y + z). This patch adds this transformation and tests for it. See more https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47205
It handles two cases
- When operands of fmul are different instructions
%4 = call reassoc float @llvm.pow.f32(float %0, float %1)
%5 = call reassoc float @llvm.pow.f32(float %0, float %2)
%6 = fmul reassoc float %5, %4
-->
%3 = fadd reassoc float %1, %2
%4 = call reassoc float @llvm.pow.f32(float %0, float %3)
- When operands of fmul are the same instruction
%4 = call reassoc float @llvm.pow.f32(float %0, float %1)
%5 = fmul reassoc float %4, %4
-->
%3 = fadd reassoc float %1, %1
%4 = call reassoc float @llvm.pow.f32(float %0, float %3)
Do you know why you are getting this (and similar) test changes? They are cosmetic (value names differ), but I don't see this when testing locally.
