// This pass tries to promote the computations use to obtained a sign extended
// value used into memory accesses.
// E.g.
// a = add nsw i32 b, 3
// d = sext i32 a to i64
// e = getelementptr ..., i64 d
//
// =>
// f = sext i32 b to i64
// a = add nsw i64 f, 3
// e = getelementptr ..., i64 a
//
// This is legal to do if the computations are marked with either nsw or nuw
// markers.
// Moreover, the current heuristic is simple: it does not create new sext
// operations, i.e., it gives up when a sext would have forked (e.g., if
// a = add i32 b, c, two sexts are required to promote the computation).
//
// FIXME: This pass may be useful for other targets too.
