[InstCombine] Only fold extract element to trunc if vector `hasOneUse` (#115627)
This fixes a missed optimization caused by the `foldBitcastExtElt`
pattern interfering with other combine patterns. In the case I was
hitting, we have IR that combines two vectors into a new larger vector
by extracting elements and inserting them into the new vector.
```llvm
define <4 x half> @bitcast_extract_insert_to_shuffle(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%avec = bitcast i32 %a to <2 x half>
%a0 = extractelement <2 x half> %avec, i32 0
%a1 = extractelement <2 x half> %avec, i32 1
%bvec = bitcast i32 %b to <2 x half>
%b0 = extractelement <2 x half> %bvec, i32 0
%b1 = extractelement <2 x half> %bvec, i32 1
%ins0 = insertelement <4 x half> undef, half %a0, i32 0
%ins1 = insertelement <4 x half> %ins0, half %a1, i32 1
%ins2 = insertelement <4 x half> %ins1, half %b0, i32 2
%ins3 = insertelement <4 x half> %ins2, half %b1, i32 3
ret <4 x half> %ins3
}
```
With the current behavior, `InstCombine` converts each vector extract
sequence to
```llvm
%tmp = trunc i32 %a to i16
%a0 = bitcast i16 %tmp to half
%a1 = extractelement <2 x half> %avec, i32 1
```
where the extraction of `%a0` is now done by truncating the original
integer. While on it's own this is fairly reasonable, in this case it
also blocks the pattern which converts `extractelement` -
`insertelement` into shuffles which gives the overall simpler result:
```llvm
define <4 x half> @bitcast_extract_insert_to_shuffle(i32 %a, i32 %b) {
%avec = bitcast i32 %a to <2 x half>
%bvec = bitcast i32 %b to <2 x half>
%ins3 = shufflevector <2 x half> %avec, <2 x half> %bvec, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 1, i32 2, i32 3>
ret <4 x half> %ins3
}
```
In this PR I fix the conflict by obeying the `hasOneUse` check even if
there is no shift instruction required. In these cases we can't remove
the vector completely, so the pattern has less benefit anyway.
Also fwiw, I think dropping the `hasOneUse` check for the 0th element
might have been a mistake in the first place. Looking at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/535c5d56a7bc9966036a11362d8984983a4bf090
the commit message only mentions loosening the `isDesirableIntType`
requirement and doesn't mention changing the `hasOneUse` check at all.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.
