[Bug tree-optimization/20470] New: Branching sequence generated for ABS(x-y)

[pthaugen at us dot ibm dot com]

Noticed that gcc/g++ generate a branching sequence instead of straight-line code
for expressions of the form ABS(x-y). Changing the operator to something else
(+, *, /) resutls in straight-line code.


#define ABS(value)   ( (value)>=0 ? (value) : -(value) )
int i,j,k,l,m,n;

void f1()
{
  l = ABS(m+n);
  i = ABS(j-k);
}
