[Bug tree-optimization/24427] New: missing optimization opportunity with binary operators

[dvilleneuve at kronos dot com]

In the code below, the test is always true and could be found as such by using
distributivity on binary operators to factor out constant values.  This is not
currently done, by looking at the assembly code produced.

<code>
extern int f(unsigned);

int f(unsigned u)
{
  if( (u|4) & 6 ) /* could be tested as (u&6) || (4&6), always true */
    return 5;
  else
    return 10;
}
</code>
