sgunderson at bigfoot dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |sgunderson at bigfoot dot com --- Comment #6 from sgunderson at bigfoot dot com --- Without knowing anything about the GCC internals here, I could perhaps also point out that GCC should know that these have limited range. As a trivial example: int foo(int x) { int z = __builtin_ctz(x); if (z > 2000) { return 1; } else { return 0; } } There's no way this function can return anything but 0, and VRP should probably be taught that. (I wonder if this would fix the unneccessary sign extension too?)
