Summary

This patch does the following things:

  1. update SymbolicallyEvaluateGEP so that it bails out if it cannot preserve inrange arribute;
  2. update llvm/test/Analysis/ConstantFolding/gep.ll to remove UB in it;
  3. remove inaccurate comment above ConstantFoldInstOperandsImpl in llvm/lib/Analysis/ConstantFolding.cpp;
  4. add a new regression test that makes sure that no optimizations change an inrange GEP in an unexpected way.

I think this TODO is no longer accurate: we *are* being passed the instruction/constant in InstOrCE , so we end up preserving inbounds and inrange and could preserve nsw/nuw if we chose. I would remove it.

Can this check be moved here?

I was imagining that if we fail to preserve inrange then we would return nullptr instead of dropping it.

Can you update the other tests to return the pointer instead of loading?
