[Bug optimization/14819] New: [tree-ssa] strchr is not folded at tree-level

[kazu at cs dot umass dot edu]

Consider:

extern char *strchr (__const char *__s, int __c) __attribute__ ((__pure__));

int
foo (void)
{
  int c = '1';
  return (strchr ("<12ers", c) == 0);
}

Here is the last tree form.

foo ()
{
<bb 0>:
  return strchr ("<12ers", 49) == 0B;

}

This strchr seems to be optimized at expand time.

As you might guess from the above testcase, GCC has a lot of redundant
IS_EXPR_CODE_CLASS(CLASS), where CLASS is a compile-time constant.
Optimizing these strchr away in turn allows us to remove a lot of dead code.

It seems to be a simple extension to call simplify_builtin_strchr() from
tree-ssa-ccp.c.
