I would like to hear your feedback on these three changes

  1. malloc(N) + realloc(ptr, N + X) -> fold to -> malloc(N + X), remove realloc
  2. malloc(N) + realloc(ptr, N - X) -> fold to -> malloc(N), remove realloc
  3. realloc(NULL, N) -> malloc(N)

@efriedma @lebedev.ri @spatel and others...

Edit: I think only 3. should stay in this patch..

This is somehow problematic, if I remove this check, this code will crash on 32bit.

define i8* @foo(i32 %n) #0 {

%call = call noalias i8* @malloc(i32 %n) #2
%add = add nsw i32 %n, 2
%call1 = call i8* @realloc(i8* %call, i32 %add) #2
ret i8* %call1

}

Any ideas why, @spatel @efriedma ?

Why are the implementations of emitMalloc and emitCalloc different? (I'm specifically concerned about missing call to inferLibFuncAttributes.)

This doesn't look like it's what you meant to test.

oh yes, I will rework test soon.

Done.

This isn't right; should be TLI->has(LibFunc_calloc).

Fixed.

Anyway, emitCalloc function I just copied from SimplifyLibCalls since it has no sense to have it there. So some time ago when it was merged and there was without proper review?

Any review or merge? @spatel ?

LGTM

I have no write access, so somebody must merge it. @spatel ?

The patch doesn't compile as-is. Please post a corrected patch.
