--- Comment #15 from Sebastian Pop <spop at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-02-01 16:46:54 UTC --- The vectorizer does not apply because it does not match the canonical form of a reduction: here is the reduction after graphite-identity: # l12__lsm.18_179 = PHI <l12__lsm.18_183(5), l12__lsm.18_154(7)> S1: l12_lower_188 = l12__lsm.18_179; l12_lower_184 = D.1589_34 + l12_lower_188; S2: l12__lsm.18_154 = l12_lower_184; Without S1 and S2, this would be recognized as a reduction by the vectorizer. Why we end up with the two extra copies? Here is the original code: # l12_lower_5 = PHI <l12_lower_4(4), l12_lower_36(6)> l12_lower_36 = D.1589_321 + l12_lower_5; Graphite does the following: l12_lower_5 = *l12_43(D); l12_lower_36 = D.1589_321 + l12_lower_5; *l12_43(D) = l12_lower_36; Note that at this point we cannot construct this code because we use data references and we are in Gimple form: *l12_43(D) = D.1589_321 + *l12_43(D); So I think that the code produced by Graphite is fine, and the problem is in the cleanups that we're doing after: for instance loop invariant motion could be improved to avoid the extra two statements S1 and S2: # l12__lsm.18_179 = PHI <l12__lsm.18_183(5), l12__lsm.18_154(7)> S1: l12_lower_188 = l12__lsm.18_179; l12_lower_184 = D.1589_34 + l12_lower_188; S2: l12__lsm.18_154 = l12_lower_184; I also have tried to run pass_rename_ssa_copies but that would just rename the base variable l12__lsm.18 into l12_lower and wait for the out-of-SSA to remove the extra copies. Constant propagation does not help either... any other suggestions?
