rL341831 moved one-use check higher up, restricting a few folds that produced a single instruction from two instructions to the case where the inner instruction would go away. Original commit message: > InstCombine: move hasOneUse check to the top of foldICmpAddConstant > > There were two combines not covered by the check before now, > neither of which actually differed from normal in the benefit analysis. > > The most recent seems to be because it was just added at the top of the > function (naturally). The older is from way back in 2008 (r46687) > when we just didn't put those checks in so routinely, and has been > diligently maintained since. From the commit message alone, there doesn't seem to be a deeper motivation, deeper problem that was trying to solve, other than 'fixing the wrong one-use check'. As i have briefly discusses in IRC with Tim, the original motivation can no longer be recovered, too much time has passed. However i believe that the original fold was doing the right thing, we should be performing such a transformation even if the inner `add` will not go away - that will still unchain the comparison from `add`, it will no longer need to wait for `add` to compute. Doing so doesn't seem to break any particular idioms, as least as far as i can see. References https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44100
