Bug ID: 94589 Summary: Optimize (i<=>0)>0 to i>0 Product: gcc Version: 10.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: glisse at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- g++-10 -std=gu++2a -O3 #include <compare> bool k(int i){ auto c=i<=>0; return c>0; } <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: if (i_1(D) != 0) goto <bb 3>; [50.00%] else goto <bb 4>; [50.00%] <bb 3> [local count: 536870913]: _2 = i_1(D) >= 0; <bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]: # prephitmp_6 = PHI <_2(3), 0(2)> return prephitmp_6; For most comparisons @ we do optimize (i<=>0)@0 to just i@0, but not for > and <=. Spaceship operator<=> is very painful to use, but I expect we will end up seeing a lot of it with C++20, and comparing its result with 0 is almost the only way to use its output, so it seems important to optimize this common case. (there is probably a very old dup, but I couldn't find it)
