            Bug ID: 17956
           Summary: LLVM introduces unneeded shifts in bitfield comparison
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified

consider:
struct foo {
  int f_x : 1;
  int f_y : 1;
};

int foo(struct foo *f) {
  return f->f_x == f->f_y;
}

we generate:
    movb    (%rdi), %al
    movb    %al, %cl
    shlb    $6, %cl
    sarb    $7, %cl
    shlb    $7, %al
    sarb    $7, %al
    cmpb    %cl, %al
    sete    %al
    movzbl    %al, %eax
    ret

All of those shifts seem superfluous:
    movl    (%rdi), %ecx
    testl    %ecx, %ecx
    sete    %al # set $al to 1 if *f == zero
    cmpl    $3, %ecx
    sete    %cl # set $cl to 1 if *f == 3
    orb    %al, %cl
    movzbl    %cl, %eax
