------- Comment #24 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2009-09-15 15:37 ------- My gut feeling is that left and right by one is the special case we only want to treat separately, but we can always proceed incrementally, and add optimizations when people really ask. Remember that code size also counts, as general maintainability. There are trade-offs.
Anyway, good for the paperwork. Important: remember to keep the maintainers (me, Benjamin, etc) up to date, because FSF doesn't automatically inform us about the statuses. Hopefully, we can actually commit a substantive improvement in time for 4.5.0 -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41351
