8.1.6 Algebraic Simplifications

SDCC does numerous algebraic simplifications, the following is a small sub-set of these optimizations.

i = j + 0;     /* changed to: */     i = j;  
i /= 2;        /* changed to: */     i >>= 1;  
i = j - j;     /* changed to: */     i = 0;  
i = j / 1;     /* changed to: */     i = j;
Note the subexpressions given above are generally introduced by macro expansions or as a result of copy/constant propagation.
