Ah right, thanks for the explanation.
Unfortunately this still regresses builtin-nonneg-1.c, which can be
reproduced with following test-case:
extern int signbit(double);
extern void link_failure_erf(void);
extern double erf(double);
extern double fabs(double);
void test(double d1) {
if (signbit(erf(fabs(d1))))
link_failure_erf();
}
signbit(erf(fabs(d1)) is transformed to 0 without patch but with patch
it gets canonicalized to signbit(1 - erfc(fabs(d1))) which similarly
defeats DCE.
forwprop1 shows:
<bb 2> :
_1 = ABS_EXPR <d1_5(D)>;
_6 = __builtin_erfc (_1);
_2 = 1.0e+0 - _6;
_7 = _6 > 1.0e+0;
_3 = (int) _7;
if (_6 > 1.0e+0)
goto <bb 3>; [INV]
else
goto <bb 4>; [INV]
<bb 3> :
link_failure_erf ();
<bb 4> :
return;
I assume we would need to somehow tell gcc that the canonicalized
expression 1 - erfc(x) would not exceed 1.0 ?
Is there a better way to do that apart from defining pattern (1 -
erfc(x)) > 1.0 -> 0
which I agree doesn't look ideal to add in match.pd ?
Thanks
