--- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #3) > There is no PHI for a for FRE to merge even. And there is no alignment > information on the pointers assignments either. The only thing FRE does for this testcase which SLP might make a huge mistake on is prop a_11(D) into the MEM. From: # i_24 = PHI <0(2)> _22 = i_24 * 8; _25 = a_11(D) + _22; MEM[(vector(4) short unsigned int *)_25] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; Into: MEM[(vector(4) short unsigned int *)a_11(D)] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 }; But SLP seems like does not take into account the two sides of the branches are unrelated and still uses the alignment of the first for the second. /app/example.cpp:6:10: note: recording new base alignment for a_11(D) alignment: 2 misalignment: 0 based on: *a_11(D) = 0; /app/example.cpp:6:10: note: recording new base alignment for a_11(D) alignment: 8 misalignment: 0 based on: MEM[(vector(4) short unsigned int *)a_11(D)] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
