Subzero: Fold the load instruction into the next cast instruction. · c77f817fJim Stichnoth authored
This is similar to the way a load instruction may be folded into the next arithmetic instruction. Usually the effect is to improve a sequence like: mov ax, WORD PTR [mem] movsx eax, ax into this: movsx eax, WORD PTR [mem] without actually improving register allocation, though other kinds of casts may have different improvements. Existing tests needed to be fixed when they "inadvertently" did a cast to i32 return type and triggered the optimization when it wasn't wanted. These were fixed by inserting a "dummy" instruction between the load and the cast.
