[X86] Fold (setcc (cmp (atomic_load_add x, -C) C), COND) to (setcc (LADD x, -C), COND) (PR31367)
atomic_load_add returns the value before addition, but sets EFLAGS based on the
result of the addition. That means it's setting the flags based on effectively
subtracting C from the value at x, which is also what the outer cmp does.
This targets a pattern that occurs frequently with reference counting pointers:
void decrement(long volatile *ptr) {
if (_InterlockedDecrement(ptr) == 0)
release();
}
Clang would previously compile it (for 32-bit at -Os) as:
00000000 <?decrement@@YAXPCJ@Z>:
0: 8b 44 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%eax
4: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx
6: 49 dec %ecx
7: f0 0f c1 08 lock xadd %ecx,(%eax)
b: 83 f9 01 cmp $0x1,%ecx
e: 0f 84 00 00 00 00 je 14 <?decrement@@YAXPCJ@Z+0x14>
14: c3 ret
and with this patch it becomes:
00000000 <?decrement@@YAXPCJ@Z>:
0: 8b 44 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%eax
4: f0 ff 08 lock decl (%eax)
7: 0f 84 00 00 00 00 je d <?decrement@@YAXPCJ@Z+0xd>
d: c3 ret
(Equivalent variants with _InterlockedExchangeAdd, std::atomic<>'s fetch_add
or pre-decrement operator generate the same code.)
