> The code comment may be misleading. Your example won't fold because getMinSignedBits() for 65535 is 17. It may be clearer when you see the limits in the test cases. Any ideas about how to make that code comment more specific? Should I put your example case in there?
Sorry if this comment wasn't clear as well. :)
I checked in a couple of negative test cases ahead of this patch; they're the last ones in test/Transforms/InstCombine/div.ll.
