--- Comment #9 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I think the GCC 12 IL would require tracking equivalences on parts of registers, in this case that _2 is equal to the low part of a.0_1. That is, one would need to extend what CCP does with bit propagation to include equivalences. There's also the if ((long)unsigned-var != 0) -> if (unsigned-var != 0) transform that could save us here but we have that guarded with single_use () and the converted value is used after the branching but not the source so we'd have increased register pressure. I do not see a good way to fix this issue, slightly altering the testcase to do the undesired transform on the source level static long a; static unsigned b; void foo(void); int main() { long c, e; b = a; c = (unsigned)a; e = c ? 2 / (c + 1) : 0; if (e && !b) foo(); a = 0; } causes the issue to appear also with GCC 11.
