Package: gcc-4.5
Version: 4.5.1-9
Severity: wishlist

The attached file (not preprocessed because of the macros) uses two
macros F and G.  F and G are completely equivalent[0].  As a result, r1
and r2 are guaranteed to be exactly equal always.  I would like gcc, at
level -O3, to basically optimize the code to "return 0;".  At the very
least, I would like G to be optimized to use one fewer instruction, like
F.

I realize that this may be difficult, and that's why I filed it as
wishlist.

[0] MD5 specifies G as a component function, but most implementers use F
instead because it uses one fewer instruction.
