            Bug ID: 35557
           Summary: suboptimal code for range check
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: LLVM Codegen
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: dvyukov at google.com

clang version 6.0.0 (trunk 320027)

int foobar(int x) {
        return x > 16 && x < 32;
}

-O3 produces:

  4004d0:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
  4004d2:       83 ff 11                cmp    $0x11,%edi
  4004d5:       7c 08                   jl     4004df <foobar+0xf>
  4004d7:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
  4004d9:       83 ff 20                cmp    $0x20,%edi
  4004dc:       0f 9c c0                setl   %al
  4004df:       c3                      retq   

a more optimal code would be:

  400480:       83 ef 11                sub    $0x11,%edi
  400483:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
  400485:       83 ff 0e                cmp    $0xe,%edi
  400488:       0f 96 c0                setbe  %al
  40048b:       c3                      retq   

Besides the sub trick, it's unclear why llvm generates a duplicate "xor   
%eax,%eax". That may be a second bug.
