--- Comment #20 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-12 branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:f8a327930b82e89ae1466cfacb9e8ac9f5c44e77 commit r12-10520-gf8a327930b82e89ae1466cfacb9e8ac9f5c44e77 Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Apr 5 14:56:14 2024 +0200 vect: Don't clear base_misaligned in update_epilogue_loop_vinfo [PR114566] The following testcase is miscompiled, because in the vectorized epilogue the vectorizer assumes it can use aligned loads/stores (if the base decl gets alignment increased), but it actually doesn't increase that. This is because r10-4203-g97c1460367 added the hunk following patch removes. The explanation feels reasonable, but actually it is not true as the testcase proves. The thing is, we vectorize the main loop with 64-byte vectors and the corresponding data refs have base_alignment 16 (the a array has DECL_ALIGN 128) and offset_alignment 32. Now, because of the offset_alignment 32 rather than 64, we need to use unaligned loads/stores in the main loop (and ditto in the first load/store in vectorized epilogue). But the second load/store in the vectorized epilogue uses only 32-byte vectors and because it is a multiple of offset_alignment, it checks if we could increase alignment of the a VAR_DECL, the function returns true, sets base_misaligned = true and says the access is then aligned. But when update_epilogue_loop_vinfo clears base_misaligned with the assumption that the var had to have the alignment increased already, the update of DECL_ALIGN doesn't happen anymore. Now, I'd think this base_alignment = false was needed before r10-4030-gd2db7f7901 change was committed where it incorrectly overwrote DECL_ALIGN even if it was already larger, rather than just always increasing it. But with that change in, it doesn't make sense to me anymore. Note, the testcase is latent on the trunk, but reproduces on the 13 branch. 2024-04-05 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR tree-optimization/114566 * tree-vect-loop.cc (update_epilogue_loop_vinfo): Don't clear base_misaligned. * gcc.target/i386/avx512f-pr114566.c: New test.
