That's probably a question for the frontend maintainers.

You mean in the frontend only for -ffp-contract=on? Maybe, I suppose FE
specific folding would also work in that case. One would also need to read
the fine prints in the language standards again as to whether FP contraction
allows to form FMA for
double tem = a * b;
double res = tem + c;
or across inlined function call boundaries which we'll happily do.
Of course for the testcase at hand it's all in
a single statement and no parens specify association (in case parens also
matter here, like in Fortran). The fortran frontend adds PAREN_EXPRs
as association barriers which also would prevent FMAs to be formed.
