Bug ID: 94793 Summary: Failure to optimize clz idiom Product: gcc Version: 10.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gabravier at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- unsigned r1(unsigned v) { unsigned r = 0; while (v >>= 1) r++; return r; } This can optimized to `32 - __builtin_clz(v >> 1);`. LLVM does this transformation, but GCC does not. Comparison here : https://godbolt.org/z/u73iap
