[PATCH] D71145: [InstCombine] Allow to limit the max number of iterations

[Nikita Popov via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

nikic added a comment.

I think it may be worthwhile to separate the limits for "stop after N iterations" and "assert after N iterations". In particular what I have in mind is that we can use `-instcombine-max-iterations=2` in tests to ensure that correct worklist management allows everything to be folded in a single iteration (with the second establishing the fixed point). However, for this purpose `-instcombine-max-iterations` would actually need to assert. Possibly there's room for two separate options?
