            Bug ID: 67683
           Summary: Missed vectorization: shifts of an induction variable
           Product: gcc
           Version: 6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: missed-optimization
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: alalaw01 at gcc dot gnu.org
            Blocks: 53947
  Target Milestone: ---

This testcase:

void test (unsigned char *data, int max)
{
  unsigned short val = 0xcdef;
  for(int i = 0; i < max; i++) { 
          data[i] = (unsigned char)(val & 0xff);
          val >>= 1; 
  }
}

does not vectorize on AArch64 or x86_64 at -O3. (I haven't yet looked at
whether it's a mid-end deficiency or both back-ends are missing patterns.)
