The testcase from PR40021: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=17800&action=view shows a current problem in optimizing away logical operations on logical (boolean) types, like "x | 1" --> "1". This folding is done in some contexts, and not in others. In particular the testcase (with -m32 -O2 -ftree-vectorize -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math ) leaves this until expand (it's generated quite early already, so there are multiple possibilities to fold it):
D.1650_109 = D.1648_107 | 1; if (D.1650_109 != 0) goto <bb 6>; else goto <bb 5>; Richi already fiddled a bit with this, so CCing him. -- Summary: missed optimizations on logical types: (x | 1) --> 1 Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: matz at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC host triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40052
