The function is fine I think, but if you want X & !X -> 0 and similar
patterns then I don't see why you need to hand things to fold at all.
Just pattern-match the cases you are interested in. Eventually
add a helper function that can pattern-match !*X like
tree
match_unop_chain (enum tree_code code, tree name, tree stop_at
int *times)
{
*times = 0;
while (TREE_CODE (name) == SSA_NAME)
{
gimple def_stmt = SSA_NAME_DEF_STMT (name);
if (gimple_assign_rhs_code (def_stmt) != code)
break;
++*times;
name = gimple_assign_rhs1 (def_stmt);
if (name == stop_at)
break;
}
return name;
}
and use that, checking for even/odd *times. The above assumes
that code cancels itself out, like ~ or ! or -. Untested of course.
