Bug ID: 125641
Summary: `a>>signbit | a` is just `max<a, -1>`
Product: gcc
Version: 16.0
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 f(int x)
{
int k = -1;
return x < k ? k : x;
}
int f2(int x)
{
int y = x >> 31;
return y | x;
}
```
This 2 functions are the same and should be optimized to the same code.
Note x86_64 backend (nor aarch64 but that is PR 125640) does NOT use the trick
of shift followed by or for this max right now.
