Currently when computing a GEP offset using the function EmitGEPOffset
for the following instruction
getelementptr inbounds i32, i32* %p, i64 %offs
we get
mul nuw i64 %offs, 4
Unfortunately we cannot assume that unsigned wrapping won't happen
here because %offs is allowed to be negative.
Making such assumptions can lead to miscompilations: see the new test
test24_neg_offs in InstCombine/icmp.ll. Without the patch InstCombine
would generate the following comparison:
icmp eq i64 %offs, 4611686018427387902; 0x3ffffffffffffffe
Whereas the correct value to compare with is -2.
This patch replaces the NUW flag with NSW in the multiplication
instructions generated by EmitGEPOffset and adjusts the test suite.
