Bug ID: 113328
Summary: Some fixed length vector constants can be generated
using SVE index instruction
Product: gcc
Version: 14.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: missed-optimization
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: aarch64-linux-gnu
Take:
```
int test(int array[4]);
int foo(int value)
{
int array[4];
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
array[i] = i;
return test(array);
}
```
With `-O3 -march=armv8.4-a+sve` this currently generates:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, -32]!
adrp x0, .LC0
mov x29, sp
ldr q31, [x0, #:lo12:.LC0]
add x0, sp, 16
str q31, [sp, 16]
bl test
ldp x29, x30, [sp], 32
ret
```
But we should be able to produce:
```
stp x29, x30, [sp, -32]!
mov x29, sp
index z31.s, #0, #1
add x0, sp, 16
str q31, [sp, 16]
bl test
ldp x29, x30, [sp], 32
ret
```
I noticed that while looking into PR 113326.
