In this case SimplifyCall is called for a call, which is not used and was
not removed only because it has declared side effect. Non-null replacement
returned by SimplifyCall is used as an indicator that the call may be
simplified, so its side effect is absent or may be ignored. Such unused
calls appear as a result of other transformations, they are not removed due
to the side effect and produce useless instructions in resulting code.

I would expect this to be in isInstructionTriviallyDead anyways.

It would be nice but the concern is that simplifying such calls is
expensive and isInstructionTriviallyDead is called often enough, so
negative impact on compile time is unavoidable. There are many
transformations, not only constant folding and their number will
increase, so putting all of them into isInstructionTriviallyDead does not
look like a good design.

Probably it is not a perfect solution, but it seems that we have no other
solution at the moment. This problem was discussed in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D118426 and in some previous patch reviews. If you
have any ideas you could continue that discussion.

Thanks,
--Serge
