[LAA] Try to prove non-wrapping of pointers if SCEV cannot
Summary:
Scalar evolution does not propagate the non-wrapping flags to values
that are derived from a non-wrapping induction variable because
the non-wrapping property could be flow-sensitive.
This change is a first attempt to establish the non-wrapping property in
some simple cases. The main idea is to look through the operations
defining the pointer. As long as we arrive to a non-wrapping AddRec via
a small chain of non-wrapping instruction, the pointer should not wrap
either.
I believe that this essentially is what Andy described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.cvs/220731 as the way
forward.
