The following files introduce new uses of undef:
 - llvm/test/Transforms/NewGVN/pr31682.ll

[Undef](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#undefined-values) is now deprecated and should only be used in the rare cases where no replacement is possible. For example, a load of uninitialized memory yields `undef`. You should use `poison` values for placeholders instead.

In tests, avoid using `undef` and having tests that trigger undefined behavior. If you need an operand with some unimportant value, you can add a new argument to the function and use that instead.

For example, this is considered a bad practice:
```llvm
define void @fn() {
  ...
  br i1 undef, ...
}
```

Please use the following instead:
```llvm
define void @fn(i1 %cond) {
  ...
  br i1 %cond, ...
}
```

Please refer to the [Undefined Behavior Manual](https://llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehavior.html) for more information.
