[Bug tree-optimization/18546] New: tree vectorizer does not understand RETURN_DECL

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Compile the following with the C and C++ front-end and you will get different 
assembly, the C front-
end does not do NVR at all while the C++ front-end will change the a decl to be 
the return_decl before 
so we the vectorizer cannot do the vectorization because it does not hanndle 
RETURN_DECLs at all.

struct A
{
    int x[4];
};

struct A foo()
{
  struct A a;
  for (int i=0; i<4; ++i)
    a.x[i] = 0;
  return a;
}
