             Bug #: 57009
           Summary: Select best typed instruction for scalar bitwise
                    operations
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: missed-optimization
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: glisse@gcc.gnu.org
            Target: x86_64-linux-gnu


Hello,

I purposedly took almost the same title as PR 54716, because this is the same
issue, but for scalars. Consider this code:

union A { double d; unsigned long long i; };

bool f(double a, double b, double c){
  A x, y, z;
  x.d = a * a;
  y.d = b * b;
  z.i = x.i & y.i;
  return z.d < c;
}

which compiles to:

    mulsd    %xmm0, %xmm0
    mulsd    %xmm1, %xmm1
    movq    %xmm0, %rax
    movq    %xmm1, %rdx
    andq    %rdx, %rax
    movq    %rax, %xmm0
    ucomisd    %xmm0, %xmm2
    seta    %al

when using andpd would save 3 movq. Note that for vectors, we get nicer code
thanks to Jakub's patch:

    mulpd    %xmm1, %xmm1
    mulpd    %xmm0, %xmm0
    andpd    %xmm1, %xmm0
    cmpltpd    %xmm2, %xmm0

It would be nice to extend that code to scalars (including the case where one
of the arguments is a constant).

I hit this while experimenting for PR 56944.
