[IRCE] Fix buggy behavior in Clamp
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Clamp function was too optimistic when choosing signed or unsigned min/max function for calculations.
In fact, !IsSignedPredicate guarantees us that Smallest and Greatest can be compared safely using unsigned
predicates, but we did not check this for S which can in theory be negative.

This patch makes Clamp use signed min/max for cases when it fails to prove S being non-negative,
and it adds a test where such situation may lead to incorrect conditions calculation.

LGTM w/comment.

I think there is just one missed case of checking isKnownNonNegative right?

Just looked through IRCE code and we correctly check it for choosing the right predicate: ULT or SLT.

Yes, for other values we know that they are non-negative because they are start and final values of the IV which is checked by unsigned condition. For S, we didn't check it.
