Most compilers can do this for you, e.g. GCC does this transformation
at -O3.  It usually does not help, and it can hurt.

The original code is clearer and much less error-prone, in my opinion.

For future patches, please keep the same coding style; the lack of
whitespace is hard to read, but a mix of styles is even worse.
