[DAG] SelectionDAG::isSplatValue - add initial BITCAST handling
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

This patch adds support for recognising vector splats by peeking through bitcasts to vectors with smaller element types - if all the offset subelements are splats then the bitcasted vector is a splat as well.

We don't have great coverage for isSplatValue so I've made this pretty specific to the use case I'm trying to fix - regressions in some vXi64 vector shift by splat cases that 32-bit x86 doesn't recognise because the shift amount buildvector has been type legalised to v2Xi32.

We can add further support (floats, bitcast from larger element types, undef elements) when we have actual test coverage.

The IR in the tests neither shows bitcast nor small element vector. Are they generated during the lowering? Do we have specific tests for the patch?

nit: VT.getScalarSizeInBits()

Why do we need a bitcast if both SrcVT and VT are integer and have the same width? Don't SrcVT == VT?

We're mostly relying on type legalization to expose this, but I've added an explicit test case at rG70ab0a9b62206add0738833cb40ea47fe5f52700

This was actually superfluous.

thanks everyone
