I found differences in code generation for simple constant expressions: 1<<24-1 generates a constant, 2^24-1 generates a quite expensive C function call. Code example below. I did expect Julia to replace both expressions by the constant 0xFFFFFF during optimization/code generation. Do we have an ol…

No constant expression elimination for e.g. '2^24-1'

Sorry, I did the bad thing and knew about a bug,
but never openned an issue for it
