I was thinking about
(if cond1
(match_and_simplify
match1
if cond2
transform1)
(match_and_simplify
match2
if cond3
transform2))
where we should generate
match1
if (cond1 && cond2)
transform1
match2
if (cond1 && cond3)
transform2
and eventually even allow nested outer ifs (why not)
(if (FLOAT_TYPE_P (type))
(if (...)
(match...
)
(match ...)
)
like some of the simplifications are grouped in fold-const.c. Easiest
would be to make the simplifier if-expr a vector of if-expr, replicating
the currently active outer if conditions.
