Missing check that Val is a ConstantInt.

Maybe use isTrueWhenEqual here, so you can drop the isEquality check?

1431

Err, nevermind, that doesn't work, please ignore.

Val is going to be a ConstantInt, as its used by ICmpInst, I will add an assert though =).

It will be a Constant of integer type... but that's not the same thing as a ConstantInt. (For example ptrtoint i32* @g to i64. is a Constant of integer type.)

I see. Thanks for pointing this out to me. But does Val have to be a constantInt here. What we know here is that the Cond != Val and we are trying to simplify a icmpinst, we are not getting the actual integer value of this constant.

Even though I think the Val is always going to be the constant int in the current state of pass.

Err, no, you're right... this particular transform works out even if Val isn't a ConstantInt, because you're checking for equality.

Sorry, I feel like I'm completely screwing up this review; I'll take another look tomorrow, and hopefully it's clearer then.

The name "Cond" is kind of confusing... it's the condition of some switch somewhere, but that isn't particularly relevant here. Maybe "Invariant" is a better name, since that's the important property?

Also, the name of the function isn't great... maybe rename it SimplifyInstructionWithNotEqual?

This comment is a bit difficult to parse. Maybe just "icmp eq cond, val -> false"?

Redundant comment.

Thanks for the review @efriedma !

There was an iterator invalidation bug here. I committed 296069 (https://reviews.llvm.org/rL296069) to fix the problem. Post-commit reviews welcome.
