This is a 2x speed-up on AsmBench/FloatMM.  It's neutral elsewhere.

I have a few questions, maybe I'm misunderstanding how some things.

Wouldn't this produce zero?

is this signed or unsigned subtraction? If it's signed, why is this?
If it's unsigned, wouldn't this just be zero?

Never mind about signedness, my question is just if this would
always be zero?

The expression in question is:

    static_cast<int32_t>(x + const)

Where "static_cast<int32>()" is Trunc and "x + const" is Add.

In this case, if const1 does not have any of its low 32 bits set, we are guaranteed that the expression is equivalent to:

    static_cast<int32_t>(x)

That's guaranteed because if const has zero in all of its low 32 bits, then "x + const" does not change anything about the low 32 bits of x.

That also means that this does not produce zero.  It does not produce zero because it simply produces static_cast<int32>(x).

There is no difference between signed subtraction and unsigned subtraction.

No.  If you do:

    static_cast<int32_t>(x | 0xabcdef1200000000)

then it's equivalent to:

    static_cast<int32_t>(x)

Because the "|" operation could only have affected the top bits.  That's why there is a check that the constant has zero in all of its low bits.  If it has zero in all of its low bits, then we can short-circuit the Trunc around the "|".

The same is true for "^" and "&".

I see. I had a total brain fart when I was reasoning about this. Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense.

I agree with BitOr and BitXor.
For BitAnd, this seems wrong. If we're ANDing something with something else with all lower 32-bits are zero, we should transform this into zero.

Good point.  I'll remove the BitAnd from the switch statement.
