Simplify discriminant codegen for niche-encoded variants which don't wrap across an integer boundary Inspired by rust-lang/rust#139729, this attempts to be a much-simpler and more-localized change while still making a difference. (Specifically, this does not try to solve the problem with select-sinking, leaving that to be fixed by https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/134024 -- once it gets released -- instead of in rustc's codegen.) What this *does* improve is checking for the variant in a 3+ variant enum when that variant is the type providing the niche. Something like `if let Foo::WithBool(_) = ...` previously compiled to `ugt(add(x, -2), 2)`, which is non-trivial to think about because it's depending on the unsigned wrapping to shift the 0/1 up above 2. With this PR it compiles to just `ult(x, 2)`, which is probably what you'd have written yourself if you were doing it by hand to look for "is this byte a bool?". That's done by leaving most of the codegen alone, but adding a couple new special cases to the `is_niche` check. The default looks at the relative discriminant, but in the common cases where there's no wraparound involved, we can just check the original value, rather than the offsetted one. The first commit just adds some tests, so the best way to see the effect of this change is to look at the second commit and how it updates the test expectations.
The files here use the LLVM FileCheck framework, documented at https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/FileCheck.html.
One extension worth noting is the use of revisions as custom prefixes for FileCheck. If your codegen test has different behavior based on the chosen target or different compiler flags that you want to exercise, you can use a revisions annotation, like so:
// revisions: aaa bbb
// [bbb] compile-flags: --flags-for-bbb
After specifying those variations, you can write different expected, or
explicitly unexpected output by using <prefix>-SAME: and <prefix>-NOT:,
like so:
// CHECK: expected code
// aaa-SAME: emitted-only-for-aaa
// aaa-NOT: emitted-only-for-bbb
// bbb-NOT: emitted-only-for-aaa
// bbb-SAME: emitted-only-for-bbb
