[PATCH v9 11/13] perf expr: Propagate constants for binary operations

Ian Rogers
2021-09-23T07:47:55Z

When we're computing ID values, if we have constant values then compute
the constant result. For example:
1 + 2
Previously .val would be set to BOTTOM by union_expr, meaning that
all values are possible. With this change .val is set to 3.
Later changes will use the constant values to hopefully eliminate ID
values that don't need to be computed.
