If C > 10, this will require a constant to be materialized for the
And. To avoid this, we can shift X left by XLen-1-C bits to put the
tested bit in the MSB, then we can do a signed compare with 0 to
determine if the MSB is 0 or 1. Thanks to @reames for the suggestion.
I've implemented this inside of translateSetCCForBranch which is
called when setcc+brcond or setcc+select is converted to br_cc or
select_cc during lowering. It doesn't make sense to do this for
general setcc since we lack a sgez instruction.
I've tested bit 10, 11, 31, 32, 63 and a couple bits betwen 11 and 31
and between 32 and 63 for both i32 and i64 where applicable. Select
has some deficiencies where we receive (and (srl X, C), 1) instead.
This doesn't happen for br_cc due to the call to rebuildSetcc in the
generic DAGCombiner for brcond. I'll explore improving select in a
future patch.
I assume you don't actually want bit-wise AND here?
