Bug ID: 102138 Summary: t = a==0 and a = PHI<0, t> should be done earlier than PRE Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Take: int len(int f, int l) { return l < f ? 0 : l - f + 1; } int lenzero(int f, int l) { return len(f, l) == 0; } int g(); int h(); int lenzero1(int f, int l) { if ( len(f, l) == 0) return g(); return h(); } we should be able to optimize lenzero at -O1 but don't. lenzero1 is optimized at -O1 because dom is able to jump thread. The difference in IR is: # iftmp.0_9 = PHI <0(2), iftmp.0_8(3)> _2 = iftmp.0_9 == 0; vs: # iftmp.0_13 = PHI <0(2), iftmp.0_12(3)> if (iftmp.0_13 == 0) at -O2 PRE is enabled which does the optimization. This is similar to spaceship_replacement in tree-ssa-phiopt but a more general statement of the problem.
