Lower the i8 extension in memset to a multiply instead of a potentially long series of shifts and ors.
We could implement a DAGCombine to turn x * 0x0101 back into logic operations
on targets that doesn't support the multiply or it is slow (p4) if someone cares
enough.
Example code:
void test(char *s, int a) {
__builtin_memset(s, a, 4);
}
before:
_test: ## @test
movzbl 8(%esp), %eax
movl %eax, %ecx
shll $8, %ecx
orl %eax, %ecx
movl %ecx, %eax
shll $16, %eax
orl %ecx, %eax
movl 4(%esp), %ecx
movl %eax, 4(%ecx)
movl %eax, (%ecx)
ret
after:
_test: ## @test
movzbl 8(%esp), %eax
imull $16843009, %eax, %eax ## imm = 0x1010101
movl 4(%esp), %ecx
movl %eax, 4(%ecx)
movl %eax, (%ecx)
ret
