           Summary: Invalid instcombine for float division with undef
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: new bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: sharparrow1 at yahoo.com

define float @a(float %x) {
%res = fdiv float undef, %x
ret float %res
}

instcombines to:

define float @a(float %x) nounwind  {
        ret float 0.000000e+00
}

If I understand the rules for undef correctly, this is an invalid
transformation because since x/NaN is NaN for all x, the division returns an
impossible result in the case where %x is an NaN.

I think a correct transformation is undef/X->NaN, because NaN/x is NaN for all
x. In the case of signaling floating point, we can't actually do the
transformation at all, because the operation might be required to signal.  But
we normally assume no floating point exceptions, right?
