In particular be willing to retype constant static field handles as TYP_BYREF.

Closes #116655.

Pull Request Overview

This PR refines constant propagation for integer constants by allowing static field handles and certain object handles to be retyped to reference types under more conditions, removing the old propagateType flag.

  • Simplified relocation checks to permit only non-zero static handles with compReloc enabled.
  • Updated object-handle propagation to reject non-TYP_REF trees and always apply ChangeType.
  • Removed the propagateType flag and hoisted the ChangeType call outside conditionals.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

src/coreclr/jit/assertionprop.cpp:3238

  • This new branch rejects object handles when the tree isn't TYP_REF; consider adding a unit test to cover both accepting and rejecting paths for GTF_ICON_OBJ_HDL under different tree types.
                if (!newTree->IsIntegralConst(0) && newTree->IsIconHandle(GTF_ICON_OBJ_HDL) && !tree->TypeIs(TYP_REF))

src/coreclr/jit/assertionprop.cpp:3245

  • The ChangeType call is now unconditional for all O2K_CONST_INT cases, but originally it only applied when propagateType was true. Consider reinstating a guard so that only intended handle constants actually get retyped.
                newTree->ChangeType(tree->TypeGet());


// Don't propagate handles if we need to report relocs.
if (opts.compReloc && curAssertion->op2.HasIconFlag() && curAssertion->op2.u1.iconVal != 0)
// Don't propagate non-nulll non-static handles if we need to report relocs.

There's a typo in the comment: change "non-nulll" to "non-null".

Suggested change
// Don't propagate non-nulll non-static handles if we need to report relocs.
// Don't propagate non-null non-static handles if we need to report relocs.

Will fix this in a subsequent PR

@dotnet/jit-contrib PTAL

Some diffs, mainly around different CSE patterns for constants. Possibly we should make CSE of constant handles more type blind and conform to uses or something.
