Bug ID: 114894 Summary: `a == 0 ? 0 : a * b` -> `a * b` likewise for `a & b` Product: gcc Version: 14.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Take: ``` int fmul(int a, int b) { int c = a * b; int d = a != 0; return c & -d; } int fand(int a, int b) { int c = a & b; int d = a != 0; return c & -d; } ``` These should just optimize to: `return a * b;` and `return a & b;`. Currently we get: ``` c_4 = a_2(D) * b_3(D); _1 = a_2(D) != 0; _6 = _1 ? c_4 : 0; ... c_4 = a_2(D) & b_3(D); _1 = a_2(D) != 0; _6 = _1 ? c_4 : 0; ``` For: ``` int fmul1(int a, int b) { int c = a * b; if (a != 0) return c; return 0; } int fand1(int a, int b) { int c = a & b; if (a != 0) return c; return 0; } ``` It is not until phiopt4 we are able to remove the conditional.
