[Bug middle-end/18030] New: OR is inefficient in 2-bit bitfield

[kazu at cs dot umass dot edu]

Consider:

struct B {
  unsigned bit : 2;
};

void
plus (struct B *b)
{
  b->bit |= 1;
}

./cc1 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mregparm=3 generates

plus:
	movb	(%eax), %cl
	andl	$3, %ecx
	orl	$1, %ecx
	andl	$3, %ecx
	movl	(%eax), %edx
	andl	$-4, %edx
	orl	%ecx, %edx
	movl	%edx, (%eax)
	ret

Note that we could just do "orl $1, (%eax)"

For PPC:
struct B {
  unsigned :30;
  unsigned bit : 2;
};

Confirmed.
