Bug ID: 107137 Summary: (unsigned)-(int)(bool_var) should be optimized to -(unsigned)bool_var Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Take: ``` unsigned f(_Bool a) { int t = a; t = -t; return t; } ``` Currently we get: ``` t_2 = (int) a_1(D); t_3 = -t_2; _4 = (unsigned int) t_3; ``` But we can do better than that with just: ``` _ = (unsigned int) a_1(D); _4 = -_; ``` Noticed that while looking into https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107131. Note even bool_var could be an unsigned type or a type which whos size is bigger than the outer type really.
