------- Comment #4 from trt at acm dot org 2007-03-21 18:28 ------- I think this could be generalized to more operators, e.g.
(y | (x & 7)) & 7
^ (bitwise or, xor, multiply, ...)
This optimization could be for "e & M" where e contains a subexpression of the
form "t & N" which can (sometimes) be simplified to "t". I suppose that would
require walking the tree.
