First bad rev. is 154713, last good is 154686. It's quite obvious that either the regrename.c changes have code generation differences or that removing the vec_interleave_* expanders caused this regression. Richard - you removed all vec_interleave_* expanders but the vectorizer still checks for optab_for_tree_code (VEC_INTERLEAVE_*_EXPR) which ends up looking at vec_interleave_*_optab. Either this code is all dead now or you caused the vectorization no longer to apply. I'll check if reverting your revision gets back performance. -- Summary: [4.5 Regression] 464.h265ref peak regressed 20% Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42216
