--- Comment #2 from Marius Hillenbrand <mhillen at linux.ibm.com> ---
Per Sanjay Patel's comment on https://reviews.llvm.org/D94089

> I'm sympathetic to the motivation, but that was a hack: one goal of IR is to
> overcome side-channel source-level optimization like this.

> For example, we added several IR transforms to reduce compiled-code differences 
> in source-level diffs like "if (bool1 && bool2)" vs. "if (bool1 & bool2)" 
> (logical vs. bitwise ops).

> If the expression order matters, then we want the programmer to indicate that 
> explicitly with something like "__builtin_expect" or profile metadata.

... closing this bug as no-issue.
