+The x86_64 abi says:
+
+Booleans, when stored in a memory object, are stored as single byte objects the
+value of which is always 0 (false) or 1 (true).
+
+We are not using this fact:
+
+int bar(_Bool *a) { return *a; }
+
+define i32 @bar(i8* nocapture %a) nounwind readonly optsize {
+ %1 = load i8* %a, align 1, !tbaa !0
+ %tmp = and i8 %1, 1
+ %2 = zext i8 %tmp to i32
+ ret i32 %2
+}
+
+bar:
+ movb (%rdi), %al
+ andb $1, %al
+ movzbl %al, %eax
+ ret
+
+GCC produces
+
+bar:
+ movzbl (%rdi), %eax
+ ret
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Consider the following two functions compiled with clang:
_Bool foo(int *x) { return !(*x & 4); }
unsigned bar(int *x) { return !(*x & 4); }
