           Summary: Unnecessary usage of edx register
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org

In testing PR46235 I noticed some minor inefficiency in the usage of an extra
register.

The C code is:

int foo(int a, int x, int y)
{
   if  (a & (16))
       return a;
   return 1;
}

Which produces the asm:
        movl    %edi, %eax
        movl    $1, %edx
        testb   $16, %al
        cmove   %edx, %eax
        ret

The above code could have been further optimized to remove the usage of edx:
        movl    $1, %eax
        test    $16, %edi
        cmove   %edi, %eax
        ret
