It actually depends on what flags you pass to clang, and for a good reason. 3 term lea uses "complex decoding" and thus has higher latency (and less possible execution ports) on intel arches before icelake. If you run clang -O2 -mtune=icelake-client or -mtune=znver3 (or later architectures) it will generate the single lea instruction. As always in optimization choices it comes down to cost modelling and trade-offs. |
