            Bug ID: 47159
           Summary: Failure to optimize malloc+memset to calloc
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Scalar Optimizations
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: gabravier at gmail.com
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org

struct S
{
    int a;
};

struct S *f()
{
    struct S *p = (struct S *)malloc(sizeof(struct S));
    memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
    return p;
}

This can be optimized to `return calloc(sizeof(struct S), 1);`. This
transformation is done by GCC, but not by LLVM. See also
