Bug ID: 108847 Summary: unnecessary bitwise AND on boolean types Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: lh_mouse at 126 dot com Target Milestone: --- Godbolt: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/fsavMzMo7 ``` void set_bool(bool& fl, __UINT32_TYPE__ value) { fl |= value >> 31; } ``` This code shifts a `uint32` to the right by 31 bits, so the result will only be 0 or 1. Clang outputs: ``` set_bool(bool&, unsigned int): # @set_bool(bool&, unsigned int) shr esi, 31 or byte ptr [rdi], sil ret ``` but GCC emits an additional unnecessary bitwise AND operation on the destination operand: ``` set_bool(bool&, unsigned int): shr esi, 31 or BYTE PTR [rdi], sil and BYTE PTR [rdi], 1 ret ```
