We can combine select_cc (x, 0, t, f, lt) to avoid generating expensive isel instruction.

Thanks for doing this. This is what we should do for PPC target.

56 | This seems to be always profitable. Maybe we can do this transformation in void PPCDAGToDAGISel::Select(SDNode *N) {}? select_cc (x, 0, t, f, lt) -> subfic (rlwinm) if (f > t) |
I guess this opt should also be profitable for opcode SELECT, is there any reason we don't do this?

13604 | same as above, put some contidions in early returns and put some comments there? | |
13610 | can getZExtOrTrunc be used here? |
The complete form of select is select cond, true_value, false_value and cond usually comes from comparison. Most comparisons can't be transformed to shift ops easily. For current ppc backend without this ptch, such pattern is transformed into a select_cc node before pattern-matching instruction selector.

13595 | Well, it might require some refactor work if adding more select_cc related patterns. | |
13610 | Good one. |
