Minor improvement to genpreds.cc
This simple patch implements Richard Biener's suggestion in comment #6
of PR tree-optimization/52171 (from February 2013) that the insn-preds
code generated by genpreds can avoid using strncmp when matching constant
strings of length one.
The effect of this patch is best explained by the diff of insn-preds.cc:
< if (!strncmp (str + 1, "g", 1))
---
> if (str[1] == 'g')
3104c3104
< if (!strncmp (str + 1, "m", 1))
---
> if (str[1] == 'm')
3106c3106
< if (!strncmp (str + 1, "c", 1))
---
> if (str[1] == 'c')
...
The equivalent optimization is performed by GCC (but perhaps not by the
host compiler), but generating simpler/smaller code may encourage further
optimizations (such as use of a switch statement).
