[Bug tree-optimization/21520] New: missing PRE opportunity with cast after cast

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following code we miss a PRE opportunity

int do_locator (int *call)
{
  int type = 1;
  if (call != 0)
    type = *call;
  return (int)(char)type;
}

We should get:
int do_locator (int *call)
{
  int type = 1;
  if (call != 0)
    type = (int)(char)*call;
  return type;
}

But right now we get:
int do_locator (int *call)
{
  char t = 1;
  if (call != 0)
    t = (char)*call;
  return (int)t;
}
