            Bug ID: 91882
           Summary: boolean XOR tautology missed optimisation
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: missed-optimization
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: SztfG at yandex dot ru
  Target Milestone: ---

This functions is always return true regardless of the value of the arguments:

bool bool_xor_test(bool a, bool b)
{
  return (a != b) == ((a || b) && !(a && b));
}

bool bool_xor_test2(bool a, bool b)
{
  return (a ^ b) == ((a || b) && !(a && b));
}

but compiler does not simplify to "return true;". Expression ((a || b) && !(a
&& b)) poorly optimized


BUT! In this case:
bool xor_test_unsigned_int(unsigned int a, unsigned int b)
{
  return (a ^ b) == ((a | b) & ~(a & b));
}

It actually simlified to "return true;" :

        movl    $1, %eax
        ret
