        <pre>int f(unsigned char* addr, unsigned char old_val, unsigned char new_val)
{
    auto old_val_cpy = old_val;
    __atomic_compare_exchange_n(addr, &old_val, new_val, 0, 0, 0);
    return old_val == old_val_cpy;
}

With -O3, LLVM outputs this :

f(unsigned char*, unsigned char, unsigned char):
  mov eax, esi
  xor ecx, ecx
  lock cmpxchg byte ptr [rdi], dl
  sete cl
  mov eax, ecx
  ret

Is there some weird hardware problem that makes the sete slower if used on al
or something ? If not, I see no reason why the sete could not have al as the
operand, which would avoid the mov afterwards.</pre>
