Re: optimization/7269: Inlining may not eliminate unnecessary tests and branches.

["Andy Freeman" <anamax at earthlink dot net>]

I'm no longer in a position to produce the code.

The specific example looked like:

struct foo {
  int f(int i) {
    ... // no branches or returns
    if( 0 = i ) {
        return 17;
    }
    ...
  }
};

int bar(...) {
    foo f;
    if( f.f(0) ) {        // the branch in f was eliminated by constant propagation
        ....                  // but the branch testing f's return value was not.
    }
}
