Bug ID: 98703 Summary: Failure to optimize out non-zero check relative to multiplication overflow check Product: gcc Version: 11.0 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 f1(unsigned x, unsigned y, unsigned *res) { return __builtin_mul_overflow(x, y, res) && x; } This can be optimized to `return __builtin_mul_overflow(x, y, res);`. This transformation is done by LLVM, but not by GCC. PS: I originally found this while looking at the code generation for this code (from https://gcc.gnu.org/PR95852) : bool f2(unsigned x, unsigned y, unsigned *res) { *res = x * y; return x && ((*res / x) != y); } f2 is equivalent to `return __builtin_mul_overflow(x, y, res);`, but the code emitted is more like f1.
