[InstCombine][X86] Try to convert BLENDV(X,Y,SHL()) -> SELECT(ICMP_SGT(0,SHL()),Y,X) (#173389)

We are cautious about converting from BLENDV intrinsics as the mask is
usually bitcast from another type, often of an entirely different width
(especially for PBLENDVB which is often used for all integer types) -
incorrect handling can leave us with select ops working on the wrong
type width, which makes it difficult for other passes to make use of it
(VectorCombine in particular).

Currently BLENDV intrinsics are only folded to generic selects when we
know the mask is from a SEXT(vXi1) bool type.

But a second common use is to shift specific bits to the MSB of the
blend mask - this is common in fp mathlib code when working with bounds
etc. and the backend is pretty good at folding this back to a
VSELECT/BLENDV pattern (often better than using the shift directly
especially when it has a non-uniform shift amount).

I've been looking for other common arithmetic ops that would benefit
from this fold, but haven't found much yet - the remainder are usually
signbit/copysign/logic manipulations that are difficult to guarantee we
have the correct element types.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting in touch
