Compile the following code with -mthumb -O2 -Os,

extern void foo(int*, const char*, int);
void test(const char name[], int style)
{
   foo(0, name, style);
}

I got:

        push    {r4, lr}
        mov     r3, r0          //  A
        mov     r2, r1          //  B
        mov     r0, #0          //  C
        mov     r1, r3          //  D
        bl      foo
        pop     {r4, pc}

Instructions A and D move register r0 to r1, actually it can be replaced with 1
instruction
        mov  r1, r0
and place it between B and C.
