The usual kind of action is to stick a single_use guard on the minus for /* Transform comparisons of the form X - Y CMP 0 to X CMP Y. ??? The transformation is valid for the other operators if overflow is undefined for the type, but performing it here badly interacts with the transformation in fold_cond_expr_with_comparison which attempts to synthetize ABS_EXPR. */ (for cmp (eq ne) (simplify (cmp (minus @0 @1) integer_zerop) (cmp @0 @1))) but I really don't like that solution (it will cause SCCVN regressions). value-numbering can also perform the reverse transform (though late forwprop will kill that again). I suppose we should look into finding a more general solution for the forwprop issues from inside forwprop.
