`nsw` is a flag for LLVM arithmetic operations meaning "no signed wrap". If this keyword is present, the result of the operation is a poison value if overflow occurs. Adding this keyword permits LLVM to re-order integer arithmetic more aggressively. In https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-changes-to-fircg-xarray-coor-codegen-to-allow-better-hoisting/75257/16 @vzakhari observed that adding nsw is useful to enable hoisting of address calculations after some loops (or is at least a step in that direction). Classic flang also adds nsw to address calculations.
