[llvm] r239849 - Reapply 239795 - [InstCombine] Propagate non-null facts to call parameters

Hey Philip

We just came across a case internally where this optimization applied not null to a pointer with an address space other than 0.

Sorry, I reviewed this and really should have thought about that at the time.

What are your thoughts on this?  I believe we can only assume nullness on address space 0 and have to leave all others alone.

I don’t think we have an optimization pipeline which will expose this, but lets assume that we have something like:

foo(&g)
...
foo(int *addresspace(1) p) {
  if (p != null) { bar(); }
}

then you could imagine us propagating the not null from the call to the callee (if all calls to the callee have not null), and so we have

foo(&g __attribute__((not null)) )
...
foo(int *addresspace(1) __attribute__((not null)) p) {
  if (p != null) { bar(); }
}

and then some optimization would constant fold the if to give us

foo(int *addresspace(1) __attribute__((not null)) p) {
  bar();
}

which might be incorrect if 0 was a valid address on address space 1.

Cheers,
Pete
