optimization bug with -fexpensive-optimizations



Hi,

The following program demonstrates a bug where "-O -fexpensive-optimization"
wrongly removes a needed zero-extending "movzbl" instruction after a 
byte-setting "setne" instruction.  I suspect that the instruction is
removed in combine.c:try_combine(), but I cannot say whether the problem
is there or in the Java front-end.  Maybe the Java front-end is
feeding wrong information about the sizes of its basic types to
the optimizer (?).

To reproduce the problem, simply compile and run the attached program.
I've included the relevant assembly output.  This is with a current CVS
on a Linux box.

// bug.java
public class bug {
    public static void main(String av[]) {
	System.out.println(get(true));
    }

    /* This is miscompiled under "-O -fexpensive-optimizations" on x86;
     * both from source and from class file.

Source:
  0: new #30=<Class java.lang.Integer>
  3: dup
  4: iload_0
  5: ifeq 12
  8: iconst_1
  9: goto 13
 12: iconst_0
 13: invokespecial #33=<Method java.lang.Integer.<init> (int)void>
 16: areturn

Output:

###
### 	higher-order bits of %eax are non-zero
### 	we need a movzbl  %al, %eax instruction
###	but expensive-optimization removes it.  
###	Bug in combine.c?
