I'm not hugely familiar with this code but I can see you're following the same idiom as used for Instruction::GetElementPtr which is just a special type of add so this patch looks good to me. Please remember to run clang-format before landing the patch.

This looks to break the 80 character line length rules.

LGTM, thanks! Please format the diff with clang-format before committing.

It would probably be also good to add at least one test where the pointer bounds are expanded (e.g. with LV) and the ops require freezing.

Are you planning to support additional bin-ops in the future here? Or could this be moved to the scope in the corresponding switch case?

927

Not directly related to this patch, but given that we return after the switch it might be simpler to follow if we would just return instead of break in the switch?

I plan to support multiply in a future patch; it seems to need a little more work that add and sub.

Though there's plenty of codebases which can benefit from this work, one of the main cases we considered is https://github.com/HydroBench/Hydro/ -- specifically the loops in riemann.c

There's a few other problems I need to deal with for hydro (openmp runtime functions not being annotated by default, lack of vectorization using masked functions) before I can finish off the rest of this work. But there's at least a few more operations to add to this switch statement -- multiplies as mentioned above, zero and sign extends, and phis used for non-SAR purposes in the loop (e.g. if-then)

927

Yes, I'll add that in a follow-on patch along with the extra test.
