Bug ID: 109038 Summary: Miss optimization to simplify bit_and + rotate to shift Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: crazylht at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Target: x86_64-*-* i?86-*-* unsigned foo (unsigned int a) { unsigned int b = a & 0x00FFFFFF; unsigned int c = ((b & 0x000000FF) << 8 | (b & 0x0000FF00) << 8 | (b & 0x00FF0000) << 8 | (b & 0xFF000000) >> 24); return c; } gcc generates foo: mov eax, edi and eax, 16777215 rol eax, 8 ret But it can be optimized as below foo: # @foo mov eax, edi shl eax, 8 ret
