+Analysis Opportunities:
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
+ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:
+
+  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>
+
+Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
+ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as
+
+  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))
+
+In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
+which is very inefficient when expanded into code.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,
+
+ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:
+
+((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))
+
+This could be folded to
+
+(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
