This micro-optimization only complicates the code and provides no benefit.
Removing it is even a speedup on my machine (i7-3770k, linux, gcc 4.9.1):
stat        test     master    diff
mean   2,403,118  2,390,904  12,214
stdev     12,043     10,620   3,677
speedup       0.51%
P(speedup>0) 100.0%
No functional change. | |
