have pointer types, though in contrast to C pointer types, SCEV
addition is never implicitly scaled. This not only eliminates the
need for special code like IndVars' EliminatePointerRecurrence
and LSR's own GEP expansion code, it also does a better job because
it lets the normal optimizations handle pointer expressions just
like integer expressions.
Also, since LLVM IR GEPs can't directly index into multi-dimensional
VLAs, moving the GEP analysis out of client code and into the SCEV
framework makes it easier for clients to handle multi-dimensional
VLAs the same way as other arrays.
Some existing regression tests show improved optimization.
test/CodeGen/ARM/2007-03-13-InstrSched.ll in particular improved to
the point where if-conversion started kicking in; I turned it off
for this test to preserve the intent of the test.

ReplaceAllUsesOfValueWith for each value.

longer IV instead, when it can figure out the

operator is used by a CopyToReg to export the value to a different
block, don't reuse the CopyToReg's register for the subreg operation
result if the register isn't precisely the right class for the
subreg operation.
Also, rename the h-registers.ll test, now that there are more
than one.

Makes llvmc show error messages printed by child processes when run from the
Cygwin/MSYS shell. Since ExecuteAndWait does not return until the child program
has finished execution, this change should be harmless.

promoted to legal types without changing the type of the vector. This is
following a suggestion from Duncan
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2009-February/019923.html).
The transformation that used to be done during type legalization is now
postponed to DAG legalization. This allows the BUILD_VECTORs to be optimized
and potentially handled specially by target-specific code.
It turns out that this is also consistent with an optimization done by the
DAG combiner: a BUILD_VECTOR and INSERT_VECTOR_ELT may be combined by
replacing one of the BUILD_VECTOR operands with the newly inserted element;
but INSERT_VECTOR_ELT allows its scalar operand to be larger than the
element type, with any extra high bits being implicitly truncated. The
result is a BUILD_VECTOR where one of the operands has a type larger the
the vector element type.
Any code that operates on BUILD_VECTORs may now need to be aware of the
potential type discrepancy between the vector element type and the
BUILD_VECTOR operands. This patch updates all of the places that I could
find to handle that case.
