--- Comment #2 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Ok, so previously we if-converted but with versioning and thus the if-converted loop was not vectorized and thrown away? So yes, for such cases we'd ideally have vector control-flow if (!all-zero) { ... } but best by not if-converting this in the first place. Note that the above also applies to "regular" vectorization of if-converted code, not only to 'masks' as with Yuris patch. I wonder if we can extend that to re-introduce control flow. A vector == 0 check should be fairly cheap and the transform keyed on how much code we can execute conditionally.
