In `IndVarSimplify::ExpandSCEVIfNeeded`,
`SCEVExpander::findExistingExpansion` may return an `llvm::Value` that
differs in type from the SCEV it was asked to find an expansion for (but
computes the same value). In such cases, we fall back on
`expandCodeFor`; and rely on LLVM to CSE the two equivalent
expressions (different only by a no-op cast) into a single computation.
I tried a few other approaches to fixing PR24783, all of which turned
out to be more complex than this current version:
1. Move the `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` logic into `expandCodeFor`. This got
problematic because currently we do not pass in the `Loop *` into
`expandCodeFor`. Changing the interface to do this is a more
invasive change, and really does not make much semantic sense unless
the SCEV being passed in is an add recurrence.
There is also the problem of `expandCodeFor` being used in places
other than `indvars` -- there may be performance / correctness
issues elsewhere if `expandCodeFor` is moved from always generating
IR from scratch to cache-like model.
2. Have `findExistingExpansion` only return expression with the correct
type. This would make `isHighCostExpansionHelper` and thus
`isHighCostExpansion` more conservative than necessary.
3. Insert casts on the value returned by `findExistingExpansion` if
needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo`. This is complicated because
`InsertNoopCastOfTo` depends on internal state of its
`SCEVExpander` (specifically `Builder.GetInserPoint()`), and this
may not be set up when `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` is called.
4. Manually insert casts on the value returned by
`findExistingExpansion` if needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo` via
`CastInst::Create`. This is probably workable, but figuring out the
location where the cast instruction needs to be inserted has enough
edge cases (arguments, constants, invokes, LCSSA must be preserved)
makes me feel what I have right now is simplest solution.
