Can you run -O3 to verify Reassociate does canonicalize such cases before InstCombine? If so, I am fine with the current code. Thanks!

Please do. Sorry for being a little paranoid :)

Although your code doesn't actually reassociate the expression, it does that conceptually. 

For example, are you saying it's safe to transform
```
I = (x + 1) +nsw ((z & c) ^ c)
```
to
```
I = x -nsw (z | ~c)
```
?

Consider all integers are of type i4, and x = 0111, z = 0000, c = 0111. The first version finally computes
```
1000 + 0111
```
which does not sign-overflow. However, the second version finally computes
```
0111 - 1000 = 7 - (-8)
```
which sign-overflows.
