[llvm-commits] SwitchLowering refactoring patch for review

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hello, Everyone.

The prev. message from me was sent from obsolete e-mail address.

This is the first patch targeting switch lowering refactoring as
indicated in PR926.

Currently it implements "worklist" strategy, where we're deciding either
emit JT or split the case range or each step (not only in the early
beginning). Also, I've included some heuristic to calculate pivot:
maximise sum of densities of RHS & LHS. This lead to unbalanced tree,
but really increase chances of JT emission in the future.

E.g. we split switch (0-5, 120-126, 1024) into 2 JT's and 1 specific
comparison + some "glue" code to discriminate cases.

Tested with:

1. llvm-gcc bootstrap
2. Building mozilla & qt with bootstrapped compiler.
