[Bug other/16800] New: PowerPC - Unnecessary rldicl

["gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

Description:
A non-optimal code sequence is illustrated.  The rldicl noted below is not needed (and doesn't occur for the "==" comparison).  Duplicate using gcc 3.5 and command line:

gcc -O3 -m64 -c test.c

Testcase:
long l1,l2;
float f1,f2,f3,f4;

void logic_func4() {
  l1 = (f1 == f2);
  l2 = (f3 > f4);
}

Assembly:
.logic_func4:
	ld 8,.LC5@toc(2)
	ld 6,.LC4@toc(2)
	lfs 13,0(8)
	lfs 11,0(6)
	ld 5,.LC1@toc(2)
	ld 4,.LC2@toc(2)
	lfs 12,0(5)
	fcmpu 7,11,13
	lfs 0,0(4)
	ld 11,.LC0@toc(2)
	ld 10,.LC3@toc(2)
	fcmpu 6,12,0
	mfcr 3
	rlwinm 3,3,30,1
	rldicl 0,3,0,32 <-- Unnecessary.
	mfcr 9
	rlwinm 9,9,27,1
	std 0,0(10)
	std 9,0(11)
