        <pre>Compile the following code with options

--target=powerpc64le-grtev4-linux-gnu -m64 -O2 -mvsx -mcpu=power8 

extern void bar(int);

void foo(const int* p, int n) {
    for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
      int k = p[j];
      bar(k);
    }
}


I got:

Var j is an induction variable, it is only used to index an array, so it can be
optimized away, like following

        clrldi   30, 4, 32
        sldi     30, 30, 2              // *
        add      30, 30, 4              // *

        .p2align        5
.LBB0_2:                                # %for.body
                                        # =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
        lwa 3, 4(4)
        addi 29, 4, 4
        bl _Z3bari

//        addi 30, 30, -1               
        mr 4, 29
