            Bug ID: 111762
           Summary: `(a | 3) ^ 1` and `(a & ~1) | 2` should produce the
                    same code
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: internal-improvement
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Take:
```
int f(int in) {
  in = in | 3;
  in = in ^ 1;
  return in;
}

int f1(int in) {
  in = (in & ~(unsigned long)1);
  in = in | 2;
  return in;
}
```

These 2 functions produce the same result but the code generated is different.

I noticed this while writing the patch for PR 111282 and noticing that
`gcc.dg/tree-ssa/and-1.c` testcase now fails (test needs to be fixed).

LLVM/clang looks like canonicalizes to f1. I suspect xor is harder to optimize
when dealing with reassociation so doing f1 is better.
