Currently LLVM will generally merge GEPs. This allows backends to use more complex addressing modes. In some cases this is not happening because there is PHI inbetween the two GEPs: GEP1--\ |-->PHI1-->GEP3 GEP2--/ This patch checks to see if GEP1 and GEP2 are similiar enough that they can be cloned (GEP12) in GEP3's BB, allowing GEP->GEP merging (GEP123): GEP1--\ --\ --\ |-->PHI1-->GEP3 ==> |-->PHI2->GEP12->GEP3 == > |-->PHI2->GEP123 GEP2--/ --/ --/ This also breaks certain use chains that are preventing GEP->GEP merges that the the existing instcombine would merge otherwise. Tests included. rdar://15547484 llvm-svn: 209049
