[InstCombine] Push negation through multiply (PR44234)
ClosedPublic

Authored by nikic on Jan 25 2020, 1:55 AM.

Details

Summary

Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44234 by adding multiply support to freelyNegateValue(). Only one of the operands needs to be negatible, so this still fits within the framework.

We have a regression here... the relevant difference is that the %B7 neg gets reassociated to act on %B23 instead, which is then pushed through to the %B11 udiv, which is a sext at that point and gets folded to zext. That somehow prevents other folds. As this is a fuzzer generated test case I'm not particularly worried about this, but can take a closer look if people think this is important.

Thanks on working on this

Not related to this change:

Should we worry about recursion depth here? Probably not a issue in practise..

Due to the one-use restriction (which prevents degenerating to exponential walks) I'm not really worried about recursion here. It could in theory visit many instructions (if you have a thousand multiplies in a chain...), but will never result in super-linear runtime, which I think is the main concern.

But I can add a depth limit if desired.

Rebase over D73411.

Looks like the regression in and-or-icmps.ll wasn't actually caused by the IR difference itself, but the worklist order change caused by performing the negation. After rebasing over D73411 the regression disappeared :)
