--- Comment #9 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- With all VARYING we simplify i_19 = (int) _2; _6 = (int) _5; Value numbering stmt = _7 = _6 <= i_19; Applying pattern match.pd:6775, gimple-match-4.cc:1795 Match-and-simplified _6 <= i_19 to 1 where _5 is _Bool and _2 is unsigned int. We match zext <= (int) 4294967295u note that I see Value numbering stmt = _2 = f$0_25; Setting value number of _2 to 4294967295 (changed) Value numbering stmt = i_19 = (int) _2; Match-and-simplified (int) _2 to -1 RHS (int) _2 simplified to -1 Not changing value number of i_19 from VARYING to -1 Making available beyond BB6 i_19 for value i_19 so it's odd we see the constant here, but ... we go (if (TREE_CODE (@10) == INTEGER_CST && INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (@00)) && !int_fits_type_p (@10, TREE_TYPE (@00))) (with { tree min = lower_bound_in_type (TREE_TYPE (@10), TREE_TYPE (@00)); tree max = upper_bound_in_type (TREE_TYPE (@10), TREE_TYPE (@00)); bool above = integer_nonzerop (const_binop (LT_EXPR, type, max, @10)); bool below = integer_nonzerop (const_binop (LT_EXPR, type, @10, min)); } (if (above || below) failing to see that we deal with a relational compare and a sign-change. The original code from fold-const.cc had only INTEGER_TYPE support, r6-4300-gf6c1575958f7bf made it cover all integral types (it half-way supported BOOLEAN_TYPE already). But the issue was latent I think. One notable difference was that I think get_unwidened made sure to convert a constant to the wider type while here we have @10 != @1 and the conversion not applied. We're doing it correct in earlier code: /* ??? The special-casing of INTEGER_CST conversion was in the original code and here to avoid a spurious overflow flag on the resulting constant which fold_convert produces. */ (if (TREE_CODE (@1) == INTEGER_CST) using @1 instead of @10. Correcting that avoids the pattern from triggering in this wrong way.
