The generic dag combiner will fold:
(shl (add x, c1), c2) -> (add (shl x, c2), c1 << c2) (shl (or x, c1), c2) -> (or (shl x, c2), c1 << c2)
This can create constants which are too large to use as an immediate. Many ALU operations are also able of performing the shl, so we can unfold the transformation to prevent a mov imm instruction from being generated.
Other patterns, such as b + ((a << 1) | 510), can also be simplified in the same manner.
'Unfold' is probably the wrong description of this as we may get these kind of instruction sequences without any folding having happened e.g.
