Bug ID: 94884 Summary: Failure to recognize that result of or is always superior to operands 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: --- bool decide() __attribute((const)); inline unsigned getXOrY(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return decide() ? y : x; } bool f(unsigned x, unsigned y) { return (x | y) >= getXOrY(x, y); } `f` can be optimized to `return true`. This transformation is done by LLVM, not by GCC.
