This generalizes the isGEPKnownNonNull rule from ValueTracking to apply when we do not know if the base is non-null, and thus need to replace one condition with another. The core notion is that since an inbounds GEP can only form null if the base pointer is null and the offset is zero. However, if the offset is non-zero, the the "inbounds" marker makes the result poison. Thus, we're free to ignore the case where the offset is non-zero. Similarly, there's no case under which a non-null base can result in a null result without generating poison. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D66608 llvm-svn: 369789
