Convert a sign bit testing into "a < 0".

void bar (void);

void
foo (signed int a)
{
  signed int b = a & (signed int) 0x80000000;
  if (b)
    bar ();
}

void
baz (signed int a)
{
  signed int b = a & 0x80000000;
  if (b)
    bar ();
}

void
baa (signed int a)
{
  signed int b = a & (1 << 31);
  if (b)
    bar ();
}

The last tree-ssa form looks like:

;; Function foo (foo)

foo (a)
{
  int b;

<bb 0>:
  b_2 = a_1 & -2147483648;
  if (b_2 != 0) goto <L0>; else goto <L1>;

<L0>:;
  bar () [tail call];

<L1>:;
  return;

}



;; Function baz (baz)

baz (a)
{
  int b;
  int T.0;

<bb 0>:
  T.0_1 = -080000000;
  b_3 = a_2 & T.0_1;
  if (b_3 != 0) goto <L0>; else goto <L1>;

<L0>:;
  bar () [tail call];

<L1>:;
  return;

}



;; Function baa (baa)

baa (a)
{
  int b;

<bb 0>:
  b_2 = a_1 & -2147483648;
  if (b_2 != 0) goto <L0>; else goto <L1>;

<L0>:;
  bar () [tail call];

<L1>:;
  return;

}
