--- Comment #2 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This looks like a missed case for singletons. _1 = d.9_28 <= 0; _2 = (signed short) _1; _3 = (signed short) d.9_28; c.a = 0; if (_2 == _3) goto <bb 4>; [0.00%] else goto <bb 5>; [100.00%] Back substituting the condition is: (d.9_28 <= 0) == d.9_28 d.9_28 <= 0 has a range [0,1] The only value that can make that expression true is if d.9_28 has the value 0.
