--- Comment #17 from Roger Sayle <roger at nextmovesoftware dot com> ---
I believe this issue is now fixed on mainline (i.e. for both GCC 14 and GCC
15).
Firstly, many thanks to Jakub for correcting the error in my patch. We now
generate optimal code sequences for the code in comments #3 and #5, and use
generate fewer instructions than described in the original description.
The final remaining issue is that with -O3 GCC still uses more instructions
than clang and icc (see Thomas' comments in comments #12 and #13). The good
news is that this is intentional, compiling with -Os (to optimize for size)
generates the same number of instructions as clang and icc [in fact, using icc
-Os generates larger code!?]. So when optimizing for performance, GCC is
taking the opportunity to use more (cheap) instructions to execute faster (or
that's the theory).
