[Bug optimization/15310] New: [tree-ssa] Optimize an addition in a bit field

["kazu at cs dot umass dot edu" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

Optimize an addition in a bit field.

struct {
   unsigned int bit0:1;
   unsigned int ubyte:31;
} sdata;

void foo()
{
  sdata.ubyte++;
}

This testcase is inspired by

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-05/msg00058.html

Currently, I get:

foo:
        movl    sdata, %eax
        movl    %eax, %edx
        shrl    %edx
        leal    2(%edx,%edx), %edx
        andl    $1, %eax
        orl     %edx, %eax
        movl    %eax, sdata
        ret

We should be able to get

foo:
        addl    $2, sdata
        ret

We might want to lower bit field manipulation at tree level.
