[Bug tree-optimization/32650] New: Convert p+strlen(p) to strchr(p, '\0') if profitable

[kazu at gcc dot gnu dot org]

According to Mark Mitchell, strchr(p,'\0') is more efficient than
p+strlen(p).

#include <string.h>
void * f (char *p) { return p + strlen (p); }
void * g (char *p) { return strchr (p, '\0'); }

g:
        xorl    %esi, %esi
        jmp     __rawmemchr

f:
        pushq   %rbx
        movq    %rdi, %rbx
        call    strlen
        leaq    (%rbx,%rax), %rax
        popq    %rbx
        ret
