        <pre>Given the following test case:

 void foo(int a, char *ptr) {
   while (a > 0) {
     *ptr++ = a & 0xff;
     a >>= 8;
   }
 }

GCC generates:
foo:
        cmp     w0, 0
        ble     .L1
        .p2align 2
.L5:
        strb    w0, [x1], 1
        asr     w0, w0, 8
        cbnz    w0, .L5
.L1:
        ret

Clang generates:
foo:                                    // @foo
// BB#0:                                // %entry
        cmp             w0, #1          // =1
        b.lt    .LBB0_2
.LBB0_1:                                // %while.body
                                        // =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
        strb    w0, [x1], #1
        asr     w0, w0, #8
        cmp             w0, #0          // =0
        b.gt    .LBB0_1
.LBB0_2:                                // %while.end
        ret


In Clang's case, we should be able to replace the cmp + b.gt with a cbnz
because we know a will always be greater than zero if we execute the loop
(LBB0_1).</pre>
