// This file implements straight-line strength reduction (SLSR). Unlike loop
// strength reduction, this algorithm is designed to reduce arithmetic
// redundancy in straight-line code instead of loops. It has proven to be
// effective in simplifying arithmetic statements derived from an unrolled loop.
// It can also simplify the logic of SeparateConstOffsetFromGEP.
//
// There are many optimizations we can perform in the domain of SLSR. This file
// for now contains only an initial step. Specifically, we look for strength
// reduction candidate in the form of
//
// (B + i) * S
//
// where B and S are integer constants or variables, and i is a constant
// integer. If we found two such candidates
//
// S1: X = (B + i) * S S2: Y = (B + i') * S
//
// and S1 dominates S2, we call S1 a basis of S2, and can replace S2 with
//
// Y = X + (i' - i) * S
//
// where (i' - i) * S is folded to the extent possible. When S2 has multiple
// bases, we pick the one that is closest to S2, or S2's "immediate" basis.
//
// TODO:
//
// - Handle candidates in the form of B + i * S
//
// - Handle candidates in the form of pointer arithmetics. e.g., B[i * S]
//
// - Floating point arithmetics when fast math is enabled.
//
// - SLSR may decrease ILP at the architecture level. Targets that are very
//   sensitive to ILP may want to disable it. Having SLSR to consider ILP is
//   left as future work.
