Bug ID: 96714 Summary: Failure to optimize sqrt*sqrt of same variable with ffast-math Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gabravier at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- float f(float x) { return __builtin_sqrtf(x) * __builtin_sqrtf(x); } This can be optimized to `return x;` (with fast math enabled). This transformation is done by LLVM, but not by GCC.
