Subject: RE: Why doesn't GCC generate conditional move for COND_EXPR?

Thanks, Andrew. I also implemented a quick patch on our port (based on GCC 4.5). 
I noticed it produced better code now for our applications. Maybe eliminating
control flow in earlier stage helps other optimizing passes. Currently, tree 
if-conversion pass is not turned on by default (only with tree vectorization
or some other passes). Maybe it is worth to make it default at -O2 (for those
processors support conditional move)? 

Cheers,
Bingfeng
