Bug ID: 107053 Summary: ones bits is not tracked and popcount is not tracked 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: ``` void link_failure(); void f(int a) { a |= 0x300; int b = __builtin_popcount(a); if (b < 3) link_failure(); } ``` The if statement should be optimized away. The reason is after the |, at least 3 bits are set in a.
