This tends to happen a lot with bitfield code generated by clang. A simple example for x86_64 is
uint64_t foo(uint64_t x) { return (x&1) << 42; }
which used to compile into bloated code:
shlq $42, %rdi ## encoding: [0x48,0xc1,0xe7,0x2a]
movabsq $4398046511104, %rax ## encoding: [0x48,0xb8,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x04,0x00,0x00]
andq %rdi, %rax ## encoding: [0x48,0x21,0xf8]
ret ## encoding: [0xc3]
with this patch we can fold the immediate into the and:
andq $1, %rdi ## encoding: [0x48,0x83,0xe7,0x01]
movq %rdi, %rax ## encoding: [0x48,0x89,0xf8]
shlq $42, %rax ## encoding: [0x48,0xc1,0xe0,0x2a]
ret ## encoding: [0xc3]
It's possible to save another byte by using 'andl' instead of 'andq' but I currently see no way of doing
that without making this code even more complicated. See the TODOs in the code.
