            Bug ID: 59429
           Summary: Missed optimization opportunity in qsort-style
                    comparison functions
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jengelh at inai dot de

The following code:

extern int comLG(int, int);
extern int comLE(int, int);
extern int comEL(int, int);
extern int comEG(int, int);
extern int comGL(int, int);
extern int comGE(int, int);
int comLG(int a, int b) { return (a < b) ? -1 : (a > b) ? 1 : 0; }
int comLE(int a, int b) { return (a < b) ? -1 : (a == b) ? 0 : 1; }
int comEL(int a, int b) { return (a == b) ? 0 : (a < b) ? -1 : 1; }
int comEG(int a, int b) { return (a == b) ? 0 : (a > b) ? 1 : -1; }
int comGL(int a, int b) { return (a > b) ? 1 : (a < b) ? -1 : 0; }
int comGE(int a, int b) { return (a > b) ? 1 : (a == b) ? 0 : -1; }

when compiled with:

Using built-in specs.

yields object code with different realizations and sizes.
What I observe:

$ gcc -Os -c cmp.c
(also shows with -O3)

What I expected instead:

All functions to have the same asm.
