Implement folding explicit load instructions into binary operations. For a
testcase like this:
int %test(int* %P, int %A) {
%Pv = load int* %P
%B = add int %A, %Pv
ret int %B
}
We now generate:
test:
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
add %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ECX]
ret
Instead of:
test:
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 4]
mov %ECX, DWORD PTR [%ESP + 8]
mov %EAX, DWORD PTR [%EAX]
add %EAX, %ECX
ret
... saving one instruction, and often a register. Note that there are a lot
of other instructions that could use this, but they aren't handled. I'm not
really interested in adding them, but mul/div and all of the FP instructions
could be supported as well if someone wanted to add them.
