Bug ID: 65952
Summary: [AArch64] Will not vectorize copying pointers
Product: gcc
Version: 5.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: missed-optimization
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: alalaw01 at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: aarch64
typedef struct {
int a, b, c, d;
} my_struct;
my_struct *array;
my_struct *ptrs[4];
void
loop ()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
ptrs[i] = &array[i];
}
Vectorizes on x86, but not on AArch64. From -fdump-tree-vect-details:
test.c:13:3: note: vectorization factor = 4
...
test.c:13:3: note: not vectorized: relevant stmt not supported: _6 = _5 * 16;
test.c:13:3: note: bad operation or unsupported loop bound.
test.c:13:3: note: ***** Re-trying analysis with vector size 8
...
test.c:13:3: note: not vectorized: no vectype for stmt: ptrs[i_12] = _7;
scalar_type: struct my_struct *
test.c:13:3: note: bad data references.
test.c:11:1: note: vectorized 0 loops in function.
