            Bug ID: 67751
           Summary: redundant zero extension
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: konstantin.vladimirov at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Simple test:

---
struct U {
  unsigned s: 1;
};

struct V {
  unsigned short o: 7;
  unsigned short u: 1;
};

extern struct U t[];
extern struct V d[];

unsigned
foo ()
{
    struct V descr = d[0];
    unsigned osize = descr.o;
    if ( descr.u )
      {
        struct U udata = t[osize];
        if (udata.s) osize++;
      }
    return osize;
}
---

Yields assembler:

---

foo:
        movzbl  d(%rip), %eax
        andl    $127, %eax
        cmpb    $0, d(%rip)
        movzbl  %al, %eax // <----- why this is here?
        jns     .L2
        movl    %eax, %edx
        movl    t(,%rdx,4), %edx
        andl    $1, %edx
        cmpb    $1, %dl
        sbbl    $-1, %eax
.L2:
        rep ret

Second movzbl looks excessive
