--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
memcmp is folded when it can be turned into two loads and a comparison - that
doesn't work for non-power-of-two sizes.  Fully constant folding the loads
isn't attempted - in theory value-numbering could use partial def tracking to
prune
equal prefixes and fold on different known bytes but I think this is all hardly
worth the trouble?

Who will write such code anyway.
