Instead of producing code like this:
Loop:
X = phi 0, X2
...
X2 = X + 1
if (X != N-1) goto Loop
We now generate code that looks like this:
Loop:
X = phi 0, X2
...
X2 = X + 1
if (X2 != N) goto Loop
This has two big advantages:
1. The trip count of the loop is now explicit in the code, allowing
the direct implementation of Loop::getTripCount()
2. This reduces register pressure in the loop, and allows X and X2 to be
put into the same register.
As a consequence of the second point, the code we generate for loops went
from:
.LBB2: # no_exit.1
...
mov %EDI, %ESI
inc %EDI
cmp %ESI, 2
mov %ESI, %EDI
jne .LBB2 # PC rel: no_exit.1
To:
.LBB2: # no_exit.1
...
inc %ESI
cmp %ESI, 3
jne .LBB2 # PC rel: no_exit.1
... which has two fewer moves, and uses one less register.
