Thanks. I have replied inline. I will update code based on your comment on them.

Yes, I think that should be taken care in Reassociate. I think that is the purpose of canonicalization so that we do not have to check of all permutations of inputs. But if
you say, I will change it.

code here is changing 
  I = (x + 1) + ((z & c) ^ c)
to 
  I = x - (z & c)
I assumed that if first version of I has NUW/ NSW, it is applied to second
version too. I am not shifting those flags from one instruction to other. Basically
this patch is not re-associating anything. It just look for pattern and if found,
transforms I from one form to another.
