I have been recently been working on a logic simulator that requires building on the nightly channel. With the release of Rust 1.77.1, I subsequently updated my version from nightly-2024-02-08 to nightly-2024-03-28 and instantly noticed a drastic performance impact. Upon further investigation, starting from nightly-2024-02-12 and onwards, the compiler is no longer able to optimize my multiplexor function.

The godbolt link is unintentionally misleading with its versions. Strangely, this regression does not happen on the equivalent stable channel versions (1.76.0 and 1.77.1), and the reason why this happens only on nightly is beyond my current knowledge.

rustc --version --verbose: (The first bad version, and I think the dates are shifted because of time zones)

rustc 1.78.0-nightly (1a648b397 2024-02-11)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: 1a648b397dedc98ada3dd3360f6d661ec2436c56
commit-date: 2024-02-11
host: aarch64-apple-darwin
release: 1.78.0-nightly
LLVM version: 17.0.6

I'm not sure which regression label to mark this issue with, since it's occurred between stable versions but on the nightly channel, so I'll omit one for now.
