[IRSim] Adding structural comparison to IRSimilarityCandidate.

Details

Summary

Just because sequences of instructions are similar to one another, doesn't mean they are doing the same thing.

This introduces a structural check for the IRSimilarityCandidate that compares two IRSimilarityCandidates against one another, and in each instruction creates a mapping between the operands and results, or checks that the existing mapping is valid. If this check passes, it means we have structurally similar IRSimilarityCandidates.

Tests for whether the candidates are found in unittests/Analysis/IRSimilarityIdentifierTest.cpp.

does this iterator have an operator->()?

Updating iterator use.

LGTM, with some optional suggestions.

Functions with a ton of parameters like this can sometimes get a bit unwieldy, but this one has an obvious structure that could be taken advantage of. What do you think about making the signature be:

struct OperandMapping {
  const IRSimilarityCandidate &IRSC;
  ArrayRef<Value *> &OperVals;
  DenseMap<unsigned, DenseSet<unsigned>> &ValueNumberMapping;
};

static bool compareOperandMapping(OperandMapping A, OperandMapping B);

Then the call site is just:

compareOperandMapping({ A, OperVals, ValueNumberMapping },
                      { B, OtherOperVals, OtherValueNumberMapping });

and everything gets grouped succinctly.

In here, all the names are Thing/OtherThing-ish, whereas in compareOperandMapping they're AThing/BThing-ish. I think it'd be helpful to keep the latter style to have them consistent.

I think that would definitely make it easier to work with from the outside. I'll change it to this style.

Updating to reduce complexity of function call.
