[Bug fortran/39280] New: Optimizing integer power

[tkoenig at gcc dot gnu dot org]

$ cat foo.f90
subroutine foo
  implicit none
  integer :: i,n
  do i=1,10
    n = (-1)**(i+1)
    call bar(n)
  end do
end subroutine foo
$ gfortran -S -O2 -fdump-tree-optimized foo.f90
...

  i = i + 1;
  n.0 = _gfortran_pow_i4_i4 (-1, i);
  n = n.0;
  bar (&n);

We could eliminate the call to _gfortran_pow_i4_i4.
