           Summary: InstCombine Transform Broken for set[lg]t (cast X to
                    X++), CI
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Scalar Optimizations
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: rspencer at x10sys.com


Currently, the instruction combiner is broken when it tries to eliminate a setcc
with a cast and a constant as an argument under a number of constraints:

1. Only for setgt (>) and setlt (<)
2. Only when one of the operands is a case and the other is a constant
3. Only when the cast is to a larger integer type (e.g. sbyte -> int).

The code in question is the switch case starting at InstructionCombining.cpp:2021. 

Currently, the optimization has been disabled (leading to performance
degradation of generated code). The disablement was provided by this patch:

This bug aims to fix the pessimization by correctly re-enabling the optimization.
