This non-default test has been failing for quite some time, I think.

The bug here is a bit subtle, but perhaps best illustrated with
the included test case:
```
function f32579(x::Int64, b::Bool)
    if b
        x = nothing
    end
    if isa(x, Int64)
        y = x
    else
        y = x
    end
    if isa(y, Nothing)
        z = y
    else
        z = y
    end
    return z === nothing
end
```
The code just after SSA conversion looks like:
```
2  1 ─       goto #3 if not _3
3  2 ─ %2  = Main.nothing::Core.Compiler.Const(nothing, false)
5  3 ┄ %3  = φ (#2 => %2, #1 => _2)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
   │   %4  = (%3 isa Main.Int64)::Bool
   └──       goto #5 if not %4
6  4 ─ %6  = π (%3, Int64)
   └──       goto #6
8  5 ─ %8  = π (%3, Nothing)
10 6 ┄ %9  = φ (#4 => %6, #5 => %8)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
   │   %10 = (%9 isa Main.Nothing)::Bool
   └──       goto #8 if not %10
11 7 ─ %12 = π (%9, Nothing)
   └──       goto #9
13 8 ─ %14 = π (%9, Int64)
15 9 ┄ %15 = φ (#7 => %12, #8 => %14)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
   │   %16 = (%15 === Main.nothing)::Bool
   └──       return %16
```
Now, we have special code in SROA (despite it not really being an
SROA transform) that looks at `===` and replaces
it by a nest of phis of booleans. The reasoning for this transform
is that it eliminates a use of a value where we only care about the
type and not the content, thus making it more likely that the value
will subsequently be eligible for SROA. In addition, while it goes
along resolving which values feed into any particular phi, it
accumulates and type conditions it encounters along the way.

Thus in the example above, something like the following happens:
- We look at %14, which πs to %9 with an Int64 constraint, so we only
  consider the #4 predecessor for %9 (due to the constraint), until
  we get to %3, where we again only consider the #1 predecessor,
  where we find the argument (of type Int64) and conclude the result
  is always false
- Now we pop the next item of the stack from our original phi, look
  at %12, which πs to %9 with a Nothing constraint.

At this point we used to terminate the search because we already looked
at %9. However, crucially, we looked at %9 only with an Int64 constraint,
so we missed the fact that `nothing` was in fact a possible value for this
phi. The result was a missing entry in the generated phi node:
```
1 ─       goto #3 if not b
2 ─ %2  = Main.nothing::Core.Compiler.Const(nothing, false)
3 ┄ %3  = φ (#1 => false)::Bool
│   %4  = φ (#2 => %2, #1 => _2)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %5  = (%4 isa Main.Int64)::Bool
└──       goto #5 if not %5
4 ─ %7  = π (%4, Int64)
└──       goto #6
5 ─ %9  = π (%4, Nothing)
6 ┄ %10 = φ (#4 => %3, #5 => %3)::Bool
│   %11 = φ (#4 => %7, #5 => %9)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %12 = (%11 isa Main.Nothing)::Bool
└──       goto #8 if not %12
7 ─       goto #9
8 ─       nothing::Nothing
9 ┄ %16 = φ (#7 => %10, #8 => %10)::Bool
└──       return %16
```
(note the missing #2 predecessor in phi node %3), which would result
in an undefined value at runtime, though in this case LLVM would
have taken advantage of that to just return 0:
```
define i8 @julia_f32579_16051(i64, i8) {
top:
;  @ REPL[1]:15 within `f32579'
  ret i8 0
}
```
Compare this now to the optimized IR with this patch:
```
1 ─       goto #3 if not b
2 ─ %2  = Main.nothing::Core.Compiler.Const(nothing, false)
3 ┄ %3  = φ (#2 => true, #1 => false)::Bool
│   %4  = φ (#2 => %2, #1 => _2)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %5  = (%4 isa Main.Int64)::Bool
└──       goto #5 if not %5
4 ─ %7  = π (%4, Int64)
└──       goto #6
5 ─ %9  = π (%4, Nothing)
6 ┄ %10 = φ (#4 => %3, #5 => %3)::Bool
│   %11 = φ (#4 => %7, #5 => %9)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %12 = (%11 isa Main.Nothing)::Bool
└──       goto #8 if not %12

8 ─       nothing::Nothing
9 ┄ %16 = φ (#7 => %10, #8 => %10)::Bool
└──       return %16
```
The %3 phi node has its missing entry and the generated LLVM code
correctly returns `b`:
```
define i8 @julia_f32579_16112(i64, i8) {
top:
  %2 = and i8 %1, 1
;  @ REPL[1]:15 within `f32579'

```
Now, we have special code in SROA (despite it not really being an
SROA transform) that looks at `===` and replaces
it by a nest of phis of booleans. The reasoning for this transform
is that it eliminates a use of a value where we only care about the
type and not the content, thus making it more likely that the value
will subsequently be eligible for SROA. In addition, while it goes
along resolving which values feed into any particular phi, it
accumulates and type conditions it encounters along the way.

Thus in the example above, something like the following happens:
- We look at %14, which πs to %9 with an Int64 constraint, so we only
  consider the #4 predecessor for %9 (due to the constraint), until
  we get to %3, where we again only consider the #1 predecessor,
  where we find the argument (of type Int64) and conclude the result
  is always false
- Now we pop the next item of the stack from our original phi, look
  at %12, which πs to %9 with a Nothing constraint.

At this point we used to terminate the search because we already looked
at %9. However, crucially, we looked at %9 only with an Int64 constraint,
so we missed the fact that `nothing` was in fact a possible value for this
phi. The result was a missing entry in the generated phi node:
```
1 ─       goto #3 if not b
2 ─ %2  = Main.nothing::Core.Compiler.Const(nothing, false)
3 ┄ %3  = φ (#1 => false)::Bool
│   %4  = φ (#2 => %2, #1 => _2)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %5  = (%4 isa Main.Int64)::Bool
└──       goto #5 if not %5
4 ─ %7  = π (%4, Int64)
└──       goto #6
5 ─ %9  = π (%4, Nothing)
6 ┄ %10 = φ (#4 => %3, #5 => %3)::Bool
│   %11 = φ (#4 => %7, #5 => %9)::Union{Nothing, Int64}
│   %12 = (%11 isa Main.Nothing)::Bool
└──       goto #8 if not %12
7 ─       goto #9
8 ─       nothing::Nothing
9 ┄ %16 = φ (#7 => %10, #8 => %10)::Bool
└──       return %16
```
(note the missing #2 predecessor in phi node %3), which would result
in an undefined value at runtime, though in this case LLVM would
have taken advantage of that to just return 0:
```
define i8 @julia_f32579_16051(i64, i8) {
top:
;  @ REPL[1]:15 within `f32579'
  ret i8 0
}
```
Compare this now to the optimized IR with this patch:
```
1 ─       goto #3 if not b
2 ─ %2  = Main.nothing::Core.Compiler.Const(nothing, false)
3 ┄ %3  = φ (#2 => true, #1 => false)::Bool

5 ─ %9  = π (%4, Nothing)
6 ┄ %10 = φ (#4 => %3, #5 => %3)::Bool

8 ─       nothing::Nothing
9 ┄ %16 = φ (#7 => %10, #8 => %10)::Bool
└──       return %16
```
The %3 phi node has its missing entry and the generated LLVM code
correctly returns `b`:
```
define i8 @julia_f32579_16112(i64, i8) {
top:
  %2 = and i8 %1, 1
;  @ REPL[1]:15 within `f32579'
  ret i8 %2

The bug here is a bit subtle, but perhaps best illustrated with
the included test case:
```
function f32579(x::Int64, b::Bool)
    if b
        x = nothing
    end
    if isa(x, Int64)
        y = x
    else
        y = x
    end
    if isa(y, Nothing)
        z = y
    else
        z = y
    end
    return z === nothing
end
```
The code just after SSA conversion looks like:
```

When calling `jl_error()` or `jl_errorf()`, we must check to see if we
are so early in the bringup process that it is dangerous to attempt to
construct a backtrace because the data structures used to provide line
information are not properly setup.

This can be easily triggered by running:

```
julia -C invalid
```

On an `i686-linux-gnu` build, this will hit the "Invalid CPU Name"
branch in `jitlayers.cpp`, which calls `jl_errorf()`.  This in turn
calls `jl_throw()`, which will eventually call `jl_DI_for_fptr` as part
of the backtrace printing process, which fails as the object maps are
not fully initialized.  See the below `gdb` stacktrace for details:

```
$ gdb -batch -ex 'r' -ex 'bt' --args ./julia -C invalid
...
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
ErrorException("Invalid CPU name "invalid".")

To prevent this, we simply avoid calling `jl_errorf` this early in the
process, punting the problem to a later PR that can update guard
conditions within `jl_error*`.

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;
    stmt=newinst.stmt,
    type=newinst.type,
    info::CallInfo=newinst.info,
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing}=newinst.line,
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing}=newinst.flag)
    return NewInstruction(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
end

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- add special SROA handling for `NamedTuple` generated by keyword sorter:
  With the change on `structdiff`, IR for a call with type-unstable
  keyword arguments after inlining would look like:
  ```
  %1 = tuple(a, b, c)::Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %2 = NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c)(%1)::NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c), _A} where _A<:Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %3  = Core.getfield(%2, :a)::Any
  %4  = Core.getfield(%2, :b)::Any
  %5  = Core.getfield(%2, :c)::Any
  [... other body of the keyword func ...]
  ```
  We can implement a bit hacky special handling within our SROA pass
  that checks if this definition (%2) is partly well-known `NamedTuple`
  construction, where its names are fully known, and also checks if its
  call argument (%1) is fully-known `tuple` call. In a case when the
  length of the `NamedTuple` names and the length of the arguments for
  the `tuple` call, we can safely replace those `getfield` calls with
  the corresponding `tuple` call argument, while letting the later DCE
  pass to delete the constructions of tuple and named-tuple altogether.

With these changes, the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor
is fairly optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):

    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- add special SROA handling for `NamedTuple` generated by keyword sorter:
  With the change on `structdiff`, IR for a call with type-unstable
  keyword arguments after inlining would look like:
  ```
  %1 = tuple(a, b, c)::Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %2 = NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c)(%1)::NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c), _A} where _A<:Tuple{Any, Any, Any}
  %3  = Core.getfield(%2, :a)::Any
  %4  = Core.getfield(%2, :b)::Any
  %5  = Core.getfield(%2, :c)::Any
  [... other body of the keyword func ...]
  ```
  We can implement a bit hacky special handling within our SROA pass
  that checks if this definition (%2) is partly well-known `NamedTuple`
  construction, where its names are fully known, and also checks if its
  call argument (%1) is fully-known `tuple` call. In a case when the
  length of the `NamedTuple` names and the length of the arguments for
  the `tuple` call, we can safely replace those `getfield` calls with
  the corresponding `tuple` call argument, while letting the later DCE
  pass to delete the constructions of tuple and named-tuple altogether.

With these changes, the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor
is fairly optimized, like:
```julia

           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)

This commit tries to fix and improve performance for calling keyword
funcs whose arguments types are not fully known but `@nospecialize`-d.

The final result would look like (this particular example is taken from
our Julia-level compiler implementation):
```julia
abstract type CallInfo end
struct NoCallInfo <: CallInfo end
struct NewInstruction
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing} # if nothing, copy the line from previous statement in the insertion location
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing} # if nothing, IR flags will be recomputed on insertion
    function NewInstruction(@nospecialize(stmt), @nospecialize(type), @nospecialize(info::CallInfo),
                            line::Union{Int32,Nothing}, flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing})
        return new(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
    end
end
@nospecialize
function NewInstruction(newinst::NewInstruction;
    stmt=newinst.stmt,
    type=newinst.type,
    info::CallInfo=newinst.info,
    line::Union{Int32,Nothing}=newinst.line,
    flag::Union{UInt8,Nothing}=newinst.flag)
    return NewInstruction(stmt, type, info, line, flag)
end
@Specialize

using BenchmarkTools
struct VirtualKwargs
    stmt::Any
    type::Any
    info::CallInfo
end
vkws = VirtualKwargs(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo())
newinst = NewInstruction(nothing, Any, NoCallInfo(), nothing, nothing)
runner(newinst, vkws) = NewInstruction(newinst; vkws.stmt, vkws.type, vkws.info)
@benchmark runner($newinst, $vkws)
```

So for this particular case it achieves roughly 200x speed up.
This is because this commit allows inlining of a call to keyword sorter
as well as removal of `NamedTuple` call.

Especially this commit is composed of the following improvements:
- Add early return case for `structdiff`:
  This change improves the return type inference for a case when
  compared `NamedTuple`s are type unstable but there is no difference
  in their names, e.g. given two `NamedTuple{(:a,:b),T} where T<:Tuple{Any,Any}`s.
  And in such case the optimizer will remove `structdiff` and succeeding
  `pairs` calls, letting the keyword sorter to be inlined.
- Tweak the core `NamedTuple{names}(args::Tuple)` constructor so that it
  directly forms `:splatnew` allocation rather than redirects to the
  general `NamedTuple` constructor, that could be confused for abstract
  input tuple type.
- Improve `nfields_tfunc` accuracy as for abstract `NamedTuple` types.
  This improvement lets `inline_splatnew` to handle more abstract
  `NamedTuple`s, especially whose names are fully known but its fields
  tuple type is abstract.

Those improvements are combined to allow our SROA pass to optimize away
`NamedTuple` and `tuple` calls generated for keyword argument handling.
E.g. the IR for the example `NewInstruction` constructor is now fairly
optimized, like:
```julia
julia> Base.code_ircode((NewInstruction,Any,Any,CallInfo)) do newinst, stmt, type, info
           NewInstruction(newinst; stmt, type, info)
       end |> only

Handle :splatnew expressions on nightly
quinnj pushed a commit that referenced this issue Jan 26, 2024
`@something` eagerly unwraps any `Some` given to it, while keeping the
variable between its arguments the same. This can be an issue if a
previously unpacked value is used as input to `@something`, leading to a
type instability on more than two arguments (e.g. because of a fallback
to `Some(nothing)`). By using different variables for each argument,
type inference has an easier time handling these cases that are isolated
to single branches anyway.

This also adds some comments to the macro, since it's non-obvious what
it does.

Benchmarking the specific case I encountered this in led to a ~2x
performance improvement on multiple machines.

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.

However, this is still a WIP. Before merging, I want to improve EA's
precision a bit and at least fix the test case that is currently marked as
`broken`. I also need to check its impact on compiler performance.

Additionally, I believe this feature is not yet practical.
In particular, there is still significant room for improvement in the
following areas:
- EA's interprocedural capabilities: currently EA is performed ad-hoc
  for limited frames because of latency reasons, which significantly
  reduces its precision in the presence of interprocedural calls.
- Relaxing the `:nothrow` check for finalizer inlining: the current
  algorithm requires `:nothrow`-ness on all paths from the allocation of
  the mutable struct to its last use, which is not practical for
  real-world cases. Even when `:nothrow` cannot be guaranteed, auxiliary
  optimizations such as inserting a `finalize` call after the last use
  might still be possible.
