Bug ID: 90487
Summary: optimize SSE & AVX char compares with subsequent
movmskb [negation]
Product: gcc
Version: 9.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: missed-optimization
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: kretz at kde dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: x86_64-*-*, i?86-*-*
Testcase (cf. https://godbolt.org/z/7NiU7O):
#include <x86intrin.h>
template <typename T, size_t N>
using V [[gnu::vector_size(N)]] = T;
int good0(V<unsigned char, 16> a) { return 0xffff ^ _mm_movemask_epi8
(reinterpret_cast<__m128i>(a)); }
int good1(V<unsigned char, 16> a) { return _mm_movemask_epi8
(reinterpret_cast<__m128i>(!a)); }
// the following should be optimized to either good0 (prefer e.g. if compared
against 0xffff) or good1:
int f0(V<unsigned char, 16> a) { return _mm_movemask_epi8
(reinterpret_cast<__m128i>(a <= 0x7f)); }
int f1(V<unsigned char, 16> a) { return _mm_movemask_epi8
(reinterpret_cast<__m128i>(a < 0x80)); }
int f0(V< signed char, 16> a) { return _mm_movemask_epi8
(reinterpret_cast<__m128i>(a >= 0)); }

Compile with -O2 and either -mavx2 or -msse2. This PR is simply the negation of
PR88152. I failed to cover these cases in the other PR and they are just as
likely to appear as the ones in PR88152.
