// On all paths just preceeding, we established the following invariant:
// IV can be assumed not to overflow up to and including the exiting
// iteration. We proved this in one of two ways:
// 1) We can show overflow doesn't occur before the exiting iteration
// 1a) canIVOverflowOnLT, and b) step of one
// 2) We can show that if overflow occurs, the loop must execute UB
// before any possible exit.
// Note that we have not yet proved RHS invariant (in general).
const SCEV *Start = IV->getStart();
// Preserve pointer-typed Start/RHS to pass to isLoopEntryGuardedByCond.
