[llvm-commits] [PATCH] Bug fix to enable zextload on targets that support it

[Mishne, Alon]

Hi,

I've noticed a clever trick in lib/CodeGen/SelectionDAG/DAGCombiner.cpp of identifying an AND whose only purpose is to reset the top bits as a potential zextload instead of extload in targets that support it. However, the code for identifying the constant used in such an AND with a vector is wrong - it makes incorrect usage of the isConstantSplat() method, assuming it works differently from how it really does.

Attached is a patch that fixes this by using that method correctly, enabling a nice optimization on targets that support zextload. The fixed code is also much simpler and more efficient than the incorrect usage, becomes it removes an unneeded loop.

Please review this patch and commit if acceptable,

-          Alon
