If both inputs are constant offsets from the same pointer then we can evaluate NeqPtr and EqPtr at compile time. Triggers a few times during all.bash. Removes a conditional branch in the following code: copy(x[1:], x[:]) This branch was recently added as an optimization in CL 94596. We now skip the memmove if the pointers are equal. However, in the above code we know at compile time that they are never equal. Also, when the offset is variable, check if the offset is zero rather than if the pointers are equal. For example: copy(x[a:], x[:]) This would now skip the copy if a == 0, rather than if x + a == x. Finally I've also added a rule to make IsNonNil true for pointers to values on the stack. The nil check elimination pass will catch these anyway, but eliminating them here might eliminate branches earlier.
