          Issue ID: 17083
           Summary: final switch(bool) should be lowered at least to a
                    simple if else
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: performance
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: b2.temp at gmx.com

This function

bool foo(bool b)
{
    final switch(b)
    {
        case true: return b;
        case false: return b;
    }
}

generates, with -O -release, this incredible bloat:

;------------------------------------
 

while GDC or LDC optimizers seems to handle this more reasonably.
