             Bug #: 12110
           Summary: Optimizer fails to fold one-iteration loop
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Loop Optimizer

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
  int lowerBound = argc;
  int upperBound = lowerBound;

  int i = lowerBound;

  int s = 0;
  while (i <= upperBound) {
    s += i;
    i++;
  }
  return s;
}


since lowerBound is equal to upperBound this loop has only one iteration and
can be folded to "return argc;"

While it's possible to solve this within InstSimplify, it would be much better
to make SCEV's backedge taken computation smart enough to deal with this case.
