//
// This pass turns chains of integer comparisons into memcmp (the memcmp is
// later typically inlined as a chain of efficient hardware comparisons). This
// typically benefits c++ member or nonmember operator==().
//
// The basic idea is to replace a longer chain of integer comparisons loaded
// from contiguous memory locations into a shorter chain of larger integer
// comparisons. Benefits are double:
// - There are less jumps, and therefore less opportunities for mispredictions
// and I-cache misses.
// - Code size is smaller, both because jumps are removed and because the
// encoding of a 2*n byte compare is smaller than that of two n-byte
// compares.
//
// Example:
//
// struct S {
// int a;
// char b;
// char c;
// uint16_t d;
// bool operator==(const S& o) const {
// return a == o.a && b == o.b && c == o.c && d == o.d;
// }
// };
//
// Is optimized as :
//
// bool S::operator==(const S& o) const {
// return memcmp(this, &o, 8) == 0;
// }
//
// Which will later be expanded (ExpandMemCmp) as a single 8-bytes icmp.
