I mean, due to an || in the conditional it looks like it is possible
for either of the operands to not be a GEN_TYPE_D. Suppose the first
operand is a signed dword (GEN_TYPE_D) that holds a negative value and
has the ABS flag. In this case the new code will yield a significantly
wrong result. Is this possible?
