Thank you for your answer!

I definitely agree. But this is also a pattern for generated code.

This is an interesting probl
We generally don't do optimizations like that directly on assembly. In
fact, we used to do some like that but they have been removed.
We want the generated machine code to faithfully mirror the assembly input.
People writing assembly have all kind of reasons for laying out
instructions in partic
