+I saw this constant expression in real code after llvm-g++ -O2:
+
+declare extern_weak i32 @0(i64)
+
+define void @foo() {
+  br i1 icmp eq (i32 zext (i1 icmp ne (i32 (i64)* @0, i32 (i64)* null) to i32),
+i32 0), label %cond_true, label %cond_false
+cond_true:
+  ret void
+cond_false:
+  ret void
+}
+
+That branch expression should be reduced to:
+
+  i1 icmp eq (i32 (i64)* @0, i32 (i64)* null)
+
+It's probably not a perf issue, I just happened to see it while examining
+something else and didn't want to forget about it.
