This patch folds fcmp in some cases of interest in Julia. The patch adds a function CannotBeOrderedLessThanZero that returns true if a value is provably not less than zero. I.e. the function returns true if the value is provably -0, +0, positive, or a NaN. The patch extends InstructionSimplify.cpp to fold instances of fcmp where:
- the predicate is olt or uge
- the first operand is provably not less than zero
- the second operand is zero
The motivation for handling these cases optimizing away domain checks for sqrt in Julia for common idioms such as sqrt(x*x+y*y)..
