cmd/compile/internal/noder: elide statically known "if" statements
In go.dev/cl/517775, I moved the frontend's deadcode elimination pass
into unified IR. But I also made a small enhancement: a branch like
"if x || true" is now detected as always taken, so the else branch can
be eliminated.
However, the inliner also has an optimization for delaying the
introduction of the result temporary variables when there's a single
return statement (added in go.dev/cl/266199). Consequently, the
inliner turns "if x || true { return true }; return true" into:
if x || true {
~R0 := true
goto .i0
}
.i0:
// code that uses ~R0
In turn, this confuses phi insertion, because it doesn't recognize
that the "if" statement is always taken, and so ~R0 will always be
initialized.
With this CL, after inlining we instead produce:
_ = x || true
~R0 := true
goto .i0
.i0:
Fixes #62211.
