This patch introduces a canonical form for min/max idioms where one operand
is extended or truncated. This often happens when the other operand is a
constant. For example:
%1 = icmp slt i32 %a, i32 0
%2 = sext i32 %a to i64
%3 = select i1 %1, i64 %2, i64 0
Would now be canonicalized into:
%1 = icmp slt i32 %a, i32 0
%2 = select i1 %1, i32 %a, i32 0
%3 = sext i32 %2 to i64
This builds upon a patch posted by David Majenemer
(https://www.marc.info/?l=llvm-commits&m=143008038714141&w=2). That pass
passively stopped instcombine from ruining canonical patterns. This
patch additionally actively makes instcombine canonicalize too.
Canonicalization of expressions involving a change in type from int->fp
or fp->int are not yet implemented.
