This revision now requires changes to proceed.

What about a ConstantExpr like "and(ptrtoint(@global), 32)"? We don't know the 5th bit of the address of @global, so C->isZeroValue() returns false (since we don't know it's zero), but isKnownNonZero must also return false (since we don't know it's non-zero). With your patch, we would incorrectly return true.

You are replacing "is known to be non-zero" with "is not known to be zero" which are not quite the same thing for all Constants. Please send out a patch which adds a testcase that would fail if someone were to propose this change in the future.
