Bug ID: 96918 Summary: Failure to optimize vector shift left+shift right+or to pshuf Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gabravier at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- typedef __INT16_TYPE__ v8i16 __attribute__((vector_size(16))); typedef char v16i8 __attribute__((vector_size(16))); v8i16 bswap_epi16(v8i16 x) { return __builtin_ia32_psllwi128(x, 8) | __builtin_ia32_psrlwi128(x, 8); } This can be optimized to `return (v8i16)__builtin_ia32_pshufb128((v16i8)x, v16i8{1, 0, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 6, 9, 8, 11, 10, 13, 12, 15, 14});`. This transformation is done by LLVM, but not by GCC.
