           Summary: Optimise mov -1, reg to or
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Backend: X86
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: joerg at NetBSD.org

[Using AT&T syntax]

The code generator should consider the following transformation:

movl $-1, %eax ==> orl $-1, %eax
movq $-1, %rax ==> orq $-1, %rax

This save 2 (3) Bytes at the cost of a partial dependency on the flags and the
old register state.
