[LLVMdev] Tracking down a SELECT expansion to predicated moves

I've inherited some target code, but there is no SELECT lowering in my
target.  But somewhere/somehow SELECT is being transformed into a
predicated move.  I've traced SELECT everywhere in Codegen/SelectionDAG.

Any ideas on tracking this down to the point in Codegen
lowering/dag-conversion to a predicated series? Again, I do not have a
lowering rule in my target for SELECT.

If I do a IR DUMP Before Expand ISel Pseudo-instruction, I will get a CMOV
listed in the code (shown below).  But I cannot track down how/where the
CMOV is being generated from the SELECT.

Help?

Here's the basic code and llvm IR:

#include <stdio.h>

int a = 0;
int b = 0;

int main() {
  a = (b > 0) ? 23 : 8;
  return 0;
}


; ModuleID = 'try.c'

@a = global i32 0, align 4
@b = global i32 0, align 4

define i32 @main() nounwind {
entry:
  %0 = load i32* @b, align 4
  %cmp = icmp sgt i32 %0, 0
  %cond = select i1 %cmp, i32 23, i32 8
  store i32 %cond, i32* @a, align 4
  ret i32 0
}
