            Bug ID: 111451
           Summary: RISC-V: Missed optimization of vrgather.vv into
                    vrgatherei16.vv
           Product: gcc
           Version: 14.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: juzhe.zhong at rivai dot ai
  Target Milestone: ---

Consider this following case:

#include <stdint.h>
typedef int32_t vnx32si __attribute__ ((vector_size (128)));

#define MASK_2(X, Y) (Y) - 1 - (X), (Y) - 2 - (X)
#define MASK_4(X, Y) MASK_2 (X, Y), MASK_2 (X + 2, Y)
#define MASK_8(X, Y) MASK_4 (X, Y), MASK_4 (X + 4, Y)
#define MASK_16(X, Y) MASK_8 (X, Y), MASK_8 (X + 8, Y)
#define MASK_32(X, Y) MASK_16 (X, Y), MASK_16 (X + 16, Y)
#define MASK_64(X, Y) MASK_32 (X, Y), MASK_32 (X + 32, Y)
#define MASK_128(X, Y) MASK_64 (X, Y), MASK_64 (X + 64, Y)

#define PERMUTE(TYPE, NUNITS)                                                 
\
  __attribute__ ((noipa)) void permute_##TYPE (TYPE values1, TYPE values2,    
\
                                               TYPE *out)                     
\
  {                                                                           
\
    TYPE v                                                                    
\
      = __builtin_shufflevector (values1, values2, MASK_##NUNITS (0, NUNITS));
\
    *(TYPE *) out = v;                                                        
\
  }

#define TEST_ALL(T)                                                           
\
  T (vnx32si, 32)                                                             
\

TEST_ALL (PERMUTE)

ASM:

permute_vnx32si:
        li      a5,32
        li      a4,31
        vsetvli zero,a5,e32,m8,ta,ma
        vid.v   v8
        vle32.v v24,0(a0)
        vrsub.vx        v8,v8,a4
        vrgather.vv     v16,v24,v8
        vse32.v v16,0(a2)
        ret

Here we use:

vsetvli zero,a5,e32,m8,ta,ma
...
vrgather.vv     v16,v24,v8

The index vector register "v8" occupies 8 registers.
We should optimize it into vrgatherei16.vv which is using int16 as the index 
elements.

Then with vrgatherei16.vv, the v8 will occupy 4 registers instead of 8.
Lower the register consuming and register pressure.
