[SDAG] Introduce inbounds flag for ISD::PTRADD (#162477)

This patch introduces SDNodeFlags::InBounds, to show that an ISD::PTRADD SDNode
implements an inbounds getelementptr operation (i.e., the pointer operand is in
bounds wrt. an allocated object it is based on, and the arithmetic does not
change that). The flag is set in the DAG construction when lowering inbounds
GEPs.

Inbounds information is useful in the ISel when selecting memory instructions
that perform address computations whose intermediate steps must be in the same
memory region as the final result. Follow-up patches to propagate the flag in
DAGCombines and to use it when lowering AMDGPU's flat memory instructions,
where the immediate offset must not affect the memory aperture of the address
(similar to this GISel patch: #153001), are planned.

This mirrors #150900, which has introduced a similar flag in GlobalISel.

This patch supersedes #131862, which previously attempted to introduce an
SDNodeFlags::InBounds flag. The difference between this PR and #131862 is that
there is now an ISD::PTRADD opcode (PR #140017) and the InBounds flag is only
defined to apply to ISD::PTRADD DAG nodes. It is therefore unambiguous that
in-bounds-ness refers to a memory object into which the left operand of the
PTRADD node points (in contrast to #131862, where InBounds would have applied
to commutative ISD::ADD nodes, so that the semantics would be more difficult to
reason about).

For SWDEV-516125.

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
