[Bug middle-end/23669] New: fold does convert (-a)/10 into a/-10.

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Another idea from LLVM.
The following two functions should be the same asm:
int f(int a)
{
  return (-a)/10;
}
int f1(int a)
{
  return a/-10;
}

----
We currently get on PPC:
_f:
        lis r0,0x6666
        neg r3,r3
        ori r0,r0,26215
        mulhw r0,r3,r0
        srawi r3,r3,31
        srawi r0,r0,2
        subf r3,r3,r0
        blr
_f1:
        lis r0,0x6666
        ori r0,r0,26215
        mulhw r0,r3,r0
        srawi r3,r3,31
        srawi r0,r0,2
        subf r3,r0,r3
        blr

As you can see f1 has one less instruction which should be better.
