Bug ID: 115086 Summary: bic is not used when the non-not part is a constant Product: gcc Version: 15.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Target: aarch64 Take: ``` int g2(int a,int c) { int b = 4 & ~c; return b; } ``` Currently GCC produces: ``` g2: mvn w0, w1 and w0, w0, 4 ret ``` But producing bic is better for most (if not all) modern cores due to the instruction that generates the constant would be "free". That is GCC should produce: ``` g2: mov w8, 4 bic w0, w8, w1 ret ``` Which is what clang/LLVM produces.
