            Bug ID: 37675
           Summary: Redundant mov in a simple tail call
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P

Consider the following:

  void f(void*, int);

  void g(void *p, void *q, int x) {
      return f(q, 0);
  }

clang -Os:

  g:
    movq %rsi, %rax  <--- Why not mov to %rdi directly?
    xorl %esi, %esi
    movq %rax, %rdi
    jmp f

gcc -Os:

  g:
    movq %rsi, %rdi
    xorl %esi, %esi
    jmp f
