Don't constant fold through zero-length fields

[tjablin]

Summary

Previously, ConstantFoldLoadThroughGEPIndices and ConstantFoldLoadThroughGEPConstantExpr would return zeroinitializer when a constant GEP expression indexed to a zero-length field. The patch adds checks to these two methods based on isEmptyTy to avoid these scenarios. The patch also includes a simple testcase. I have verified that the testcase fails with r216246 and passes after applying the patch.

Fix a related bug in ConstantFoldLoadThroughBitcast and add an additional test case.

Could you please upload a full-context diff as described here: http://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html

If this is well-defined behavior (I realize that indexing off the end of an array is allowed, but whether that is permitted to alias other structure members is unclear to me), then I don't see why an empty type is a special case here. Shouldn't we have the same problem with any off-the-end array access where the array is not the last aggregate member?

Remove this line (it is unneeded).

I've updated the patch by replacing the CHECK-NOT test cases with CHECK test cases and included a new test demonstrating that indexing past the end of an array that is not the last field in a structure is already handled correctly.

Leaving this to Hal, I don't understand the specific bug you're fixing well enough to be a good reviewer.

lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp

     C = C->getAggregateElement(CE->getOperand(i));
     if (!C)
       return nullptr;
+
+    // Don't step through empty types. The aliasing is too hard to figure out.
+    if (C->getType()->isEmptyTy())
+      return nullptr;
   }
   return C;
 }

     C = C->getAggregateElement(Indices[i]);
     if (!C)
       return nullptr;
+
+    // Don't step through empty types. The aliasing is too hard to figure out.
+    if (C->getType()->isEmptyTy())
+      return nullptr;
   }
   return C;
 }
