Bug ID: 70841 Summary: reassoc fails to handle FP division Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- reassoc fails to handle float foo (float x, float y) { return x * y / x; } with -freciprocal-math (at least) it could handle this as x * y * (1/x) and simplify ops accordingly (with -funsafe-math-opts or maybe already with -ffp-contract=fast). Implementation-wise this could be handled similar to how we handle minus for plus reassoc. OTOH it would be better to rewrite that with a flag on the op "negate" and division could be handled with a flag "invert".
