Summary:
Expressions of the form x < 0 ? 0 : x; and x < -1 ? -1 : x can be lowered using bit-operations instead of branching or conditional moves
In thumb-mode this results in a two-instruction sequence, a shift followed by a bic or or while in ARM/thumb2 mode that has flexible second operand the shift can be folded into a single bic/or instructions. In most cases this results in smaller code and possibly less branches, and in no case larger than before.
