However, I did stumble over an older patch I did now, which I could
not remember what it was good for. It does fix the problem, and
it seems to be a better solution.

I remember seeing this patch, but I don't remember the exact context.
But when you think about it, !!cond can be a build time constant even
if cond is not, as long as you can prove statically that cond != 0. So

You're right.  I just tested it and to my surprise gcc is smart enough
to figure that case out.

I think this change is obviously correct, and an improvement since it
will remove the profiling overhead of branches that are not true
branches in the first place.

Indeed.

... and perhaps we should not evaluate cond twice either?
