--- Comment #1 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The loop based vectorizer is able to do a decent job at: ``` int f(short *a, signed char *b, int n) { int sum = 0; n = 8; for(int i = 0;i < n; i++) sum += a[i]*b[i]; return sum; } ``` But if we reduce n to 4, the loop based vectorizer is not able to handle it either.
